Obviously the coder(s) put that line of code in for a reason. To generate an 'installed' click instead of counting on the user to manually do it.

Why not consider this:

Take away the ability for users to manually hit the install/uninstall button. Have every hack that is created contain two lines of additional code. One to add to the install count when the hack is installed by the user and another to uninstall, when it is removed by the user.

Obviously this would have to be disclosed somewhere on VB.org like in a sticky or the FAQ so everyone is aware of it.

This would in fact IMO, help the coders by giving them a truer account of how many people in fact installed their hack as well as helping the installer with receiving the 'hack updated' emails.

Could be a win/win situation if handled properly.
