Sage 100

Any idea why Sage went this way on 2017+? Isn't the concept of a workstation update installation bundle that you run it once to configure a workstation? Sage Exchange Desktop needs to be installed even if you only are placing cards into the Sage vault (no processing). Sage Exchange Desktop 2.0 no longer automatically installs. It must be manually installed on every workstation requiring access to SED.

(1) SPS probably got sick of Sage installing out of date versions. (2) Why spend precious shareholder maintenance dollars on programming the installer correctly when you can pass along the costs to the partners and users?

I suspect it's the prerequisite often needing a reboot / admin permissions.

From version 2017 on the installer will no longer be a one click application since many customers had issues with remote desktop, terminals server/citrix. It is now a manual installation.

Actually, once I realized it was not a combined install, I rather like it. Gives us a little more control over which bugs we want to install.... Now if they would only fix the damn module date prompt. Under classic, it works as always. Under the new ""standard"", the date pops when you click on the module, not when you click on the program. So I waste time waiting for the program to open. But no, I have to click on the program to open it....
