Win installer tweaks #7186

Description

comments on the 8.2.15 Win installer

First page

  • Title: 'Welcome to the BOINC Installer Wizard for BOINC'. Verbose. How about 'Welcome to the BOINC Installer'?
  • Font is kinda small. We should try to have the same font throughout (including WSL)
  • 'WARNING...' Omit?

Is the BOINC graphic on each page a good thing? I'm not sure.

License agreement

  • No 'Berkeley Open Infrastructure...'; we don't use that anymore
  • Smaller font? not Courier?

BOINC Configuration

  • screensaver should default to off
  • 'now disabled by default' is confusing
  • 'a reboot may be required': omit?
  • have a checkbox for WSL here?

Note: maybe instead of references to WSL, Docker etc.
we should just call it 'Support Linux apps'

Ready to Install

  • omit other text

Completed

  • 'Launch the installation of the BOINC WSL Distro': this is confusing

WSL installer

  • It shouldn't look like a separate installer.
    It should look like a phase of the BOINC installer
    (or ideally it should be invisible)
  • 'This will install the BOINC WSL Distro, allowing BOINC to run jobs based on Docker'. Too much information.
  • Uninstall button here is confusing - omit?
  • Open Log button is confusing - omit?
  • Should never refer to 'BUDA runner'.
  • Last button should be 'Finish', not 'Exit'

Start menu

  • boinc-buda-runner appears here; it shouldn't

Uninstall

  • Doesn't remove boinc-buda-runner; it should
