Or, we could spend a little community effort and make the Update Manager easier to use. With maybe a link in the default Welcome page to start it up with the staging/milestone link already pre-populated in milestone builds. I don’t think there’s any getting away from downloading the platform since, I believe, it is the minimum required piece and the user would have to download it anyway.

 

I have 40,000+ users downloading the CDT via our update site. I’d like to move all of them to Callisto and it would be nice if we had a good out of the box story for them, without having to pay someone fees.

Yeah, I agree as far as Callisto is concerned. 

 

But if the foundation is going to invest in something bigger, it would be cool use something like Yoxos.

BTW, for the record, my suggestion for "Callisto Installer" was to be a much less ambitious thing than Yoxos ... maybe "installer" is even the wrong word ... I was thinking of more an RCP app that would be smaller than the Platform feature (30 Megs) and give some user-friendly, automatic "lead in" to the update manager,  I would see this Callisto "quickly get started miniature update manager"? to be like a "use once" app, and then future installs, removals, configuration management, etc., to be handled "as usual" by Update Manager or other tools.

Sorry if I wasn't clear on my intent ... and, of course, what is really needed or wanted by Planning Council is always open to suggestion.

That’s “buy instead of build” -- time for bed.

On the installer topic:
 
Weighing in from the “buy instead if build” camp, here’s Yoxos:
