- Indeed I was talking about corporate users where everything works fine.
- In the beginning we created the installation instruction to make users press the right button on the security dialog, that was no problem at all as mentioned before. We had more problems with the shortcuts created by web start as some users didn't create them (additional installation instruction line) and didn't know how to get them at a later point, also some users threw them away and didn't know how to recreate them. But that is just a minor issue in my opinion, because after some explanation everything works fine now.
- I understand that in a public environment you are not able to make instructions like these and I think you may have problems with exact the same issues as ours but then in a less acceptable manner.
-- About the security dialog: I don't think it's much of a problem to have this security dialog as people start to know them through other ways as well (microsoft windows for example). The thing I have with the web start dialog is that it doesn't explain you the type of access the application wants. (isn't this addressed in mustang?)
-- About the icon creation: I think more installation options would be nice and also more programmer control in them, for example a repair and uninstall facility in the launch menu and the ability to force the icon creation instead of giving the end user the freedom.
Sincerely,
