Trust me, i helped to write the uCS installer, ive written my own installer, i know the pain, however when its done its worth the effort youve put into it. However i do think we should all get together and write a blank installer template, that would use vBulletins .xml files that it generates for languages and styles.
that would be awesome imo, some sort of vb hack writers pack
i'm getting closer to releasing my first hack/s so this is becoming more of an issue
