           Summary: some programs should have their own installer (like
                    konqueror)
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.2.2
          Platform: MS Windows
        OS/Version: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tux at skynet.be


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                MS Windows
Installed from:    MS Windows

Some KDE apps would do better in Windows-world if they were individualized. A
typical windows user, in my opinion, doesn't download a name of a project to
try a bunch of apps. He wants a browser, or an editor, or... 

The kdewin-installer-gui is too all-in-one for this.

Not that I want it gone, no way, I like it *thumbs up* to check out how the kde
on windows project has come.

But I think a lot more people will try "Konqueror" or "Kate", if they are able
to do the following:

When I go to http://www.konqueror.org/ I should be able to download a
standalone .exe that contains all files needed to install konqueror, like I
would install Firefox or so.

Sure, a link to the "Getting KDE" should also be added, and a warning that it's
all in a experimental state...

The standalone installer should have a update-check function to see if your
installer is up-to-date :)

If the user chooses to download the all-in-one installer later, it should see
all the standalone apps.

(maybe a promotional text and link about the kdewin-installer-gui before you
click Finish)

I've submitted this report as an bug because i think it is the GREATEST bug on
the windows platform concerning KDE :)

PS: If the KDE team already planned to do this in the future, I apologize for
not being able to sit still (and type a ton of crap on your bug reporting
system) :) keep up the good word people :)
