Do you hate the instalation Process?

I hate the instalation process! If I could get away from Flash Player! I would!

• Windows XP (no more updates for the OS)
• Windows Vista
• Windows 7
• Windows 8 (two machines)
• Windows 8.1
• Mac OS 10.6.8 Server

• Office 2008 (OS 10.7.5)
• Office 2010 (Windows 7)
• Office 2011 (OS 10.8.5 & 10.9.2)

Just curious: what exactly do you hate?

The download takes 1 or 2 seconds, the install 3 to 5, and then it's all done.  It's one of the easiest installs of any applications I know.
