Installation feedback

[robnicholson]

I know that English isn't your native language so I feel rather trite in pointing out errors but you've put so much effort into the new user interface, it would be a shame to spoilt it with simple errors. So I apologise in advance for the anal level of some of these

I've just gone through Beta 3 installation and this is some feedback:

Extra full-stop between "v" and "8" - should read v8.0.6383:

I fully admit I didn't read any documentation before installing so it would be really useful if there was a pop-up from this window (suggest link to website) to high-level explain what these various components are for. I've used StarWind for several years now so I know what some of them are but I haven't a clue what "Loopback accelerator driver" is and why I should install it:

The English on this needs re-working. More than happy to help:

Cheers, Rob.

Always wary when device drivers get installed so that help mentioned before should warn you that this device driver will get installed and what it's for:

Ditto - need to know what the SMS-S agent is and why/how I would configure it now. Suggest adding "You can configure it later" to the message so that it's clear it's not the end of the world if you don't configure it now:

First time users will be confused by this dialog as if you allow it to "Launch StarWind management console", then you'll be perplexed why it doesn't open anything obvious. You need to indicate that the console opens to the system tray bottom right:
