one-click joomla installer? any reviews?

[raffm]

Hello,

First off, I hope this does not come across spammy and this is the right place to post this.

I found this tool VPSrobots that comes with an auto-installer for joomla CMS. I tried using it to build a joomla site on my server and it surprisingly took only few minutes with one click ease. Any reviews on it? Is this helpful for joomla users?

Also, I put the screenshot in the attachment.

@raffm: welcome to the forum. Thank you for your question (it's a good question).

Experienced users in this community prefer to use the reliable method which is to download the Joomla installation package from joomla.org and install it. It takes about 10-15 minutes to unstall Joomla. We prefer to not use these scripted packages available from many webhosting services. Many of these services do not offer the most recent version of J!. Some of the scripted installations may cause complications in future; in other words, their reliability is not guaranteed.

I hope this information helps you to make an informed decision and make the right choice. There's nothing "wrong" in using scripted installations like these (for demonstration purposes) but I wouldn't base my business or have total confidence in them for production purposes. Cheers

hello,

Thanks for the comment and heads up! the version issue is exactly the real concern for most of users, so I wouldn't use it in a production environment until I get a positive answer on the issue.
I agree with you on the view that such a tool is useful in some specific cases, like demonstrating many Joomla sites in a short time, helping beginners like myself get started in a easier manner...
