Fake Install Wizard

Remember when installing software was an event? Name any product below, then click Next through a lovingly recreated 90s setup wizard, complete with a license agreement nobody reads and a progress bar that hangs at 99%. Nothing is installed.

How It Works

A faithful homage to the InstallShield-era setup wizard, every beat included:

  • Welcome — sternly advises you to close all other applications, for reasons
  • License Agreement — a scrollable wall of legalese (worth actually reading this one); Next stays greyed out until you agree
  • Destination DirectoryC:\Program Files\..., where else?
  • Select Components — including 2,300 files of bonus clip art
  • Copying Files — the file-name ticker flies by, the bar races to 87%... then crawls... then hangs at 99% for a small eternity, exactly as tradition demands
  • Finish — and of course, Setup wants to restart your computer
  • Download as Video — records the entire ritual (about 22 seconds, hang at 99% included) as a WebM video of the wizard on a classic teal desktop, ready to send to anyone who claims to miss the 90s

Nothing is downloaded or installed; it's all theater rendered in your browser. Cancel any time to get the classic "Are you sure you want to quit Setup?" guilt trip.
