The dumbest install program I've ever seen

Every now and then, you come across something that, well, is so absurd that no one would believe you unless you had proof of it.   Earlier today, I came across the epitome of such a thing.  My Imate KJAM has a Mini SD and I was trying to copy some stuff onto Kim's Media Center and it doesn't have a slot for Mini SD cards so I bought a SanDisk USB 2.-0 Mobile Card Reader/Writer. Anyway, when I installed the software, it sure had an 'interesting' sequence of messages. I sh1t you not, this is the exact sequence of message boxes that I displayed during the install process:

 

SanDisk Mobile Card Reader/Writer stupid install sequence

Anyway, the install was successful but you never would have guessed judging from the installer.

You gotta love this. Doesn't Speech Server have a similar install workflow? ;-D
