Separate Contents Installer on DVD

[Boy]

I assume that DVDs for XDP will be shipped out again in the near future. It's probably too late for my request but I would really like to have a separate installer for the contents so that I don't have to uninstall and reinstall the program in order to have off-line access to the Designs Gallery.

That, sir Boy, is the reason I got back on this forum...

I was going to ask such a dumb question as to HOW to
install everything on the disk so the only thing I had to
do was to go online to register...

It seems you have answered my question, and Xara has
again overlooked a biggie! Guess I will join you and have
to uninstall what I've installed over the internet just so I
can have direct access to everything via a local install.

I don't know what Xara is trying to hide from us? We did
purchase the program?! So why only downloading what
is needed instead of having everything available.

I work offline and want EVERYTHING downloaded so I
don't have to go through the frustration of waiting for
things to download when I want/need them.

While Xara thinks they are being 'smart' and protecting
their software, they are again, as usual adding many
uncalled for frustrations to registered/licensed users.

What's the beef Xara? I've got 7.5 TB of drive space
that I'm not using at the moment -- what gives?

Why do I have to uninstall everything to install again
locally so that I have everything locally?

You specifically told me I wouldn't have to do this!!!

Just download the demo -- upgrade and buy a license
and you will have everything. Am I wrong? or missing
something here?

Well, I'm going to uninstall everything and reinstall it
all from DVD and see what happens, unless you tell me
different.

--Thanks for the added work I need to perform to be
able to access everything locally.

Ease off the sarcasm. There are several reasons why we don't include the contents of the designs gallery within the .exe; none of them simply to add unnecessary frustration to the user.

Simply install from the CD if you ordered one to install a copy of the DG onto your PC. Doesn't take more than 5 minutes to do so. Make yourself a tea/coffee in that time or something.

Regarding Boys original request, unfortunately it is too late (even back in July) to change the master CD, nor do we have this facility in place however it is something we can think about for future versions.

Thanks Rob for the feedback. Such facility would be much appreciated.
