Favorite 1-click installers

[Vertigo]

Which is your favorite one-click installer application? The ones I know of are Installatron, Fantastico, and Plesk Power Pack, though there might be others.

Of the three mentioned, my favorite will have to be Installatron. I find it less clunky than Fantastico (I admit, I haven't tried Plesk Power Pack), and it's a lot more up to date (new application versions are automatically downloaded via crontab as soon as they are released). You can even make your own Installatron app installer for any application, which is something you can't do in Fantastico, IIRC.

I'd rather not use any kind of one click installs, personally. The only way to be sure of what exactly you're installing is to do it yourself. That said, if I were to choose, I'd have to agree with you and say Installatron. I've tried it once (just once) before and really liked it. Much better than Fantastico, in my opinion.

Fantastico is the only one I've used, so I'm voting for it. I know that some people have said that Fantastico shouldn't be used for installing scripts, but I've been using it for a while and haven't had a problem. I think the main point is to properly maintain your site after you've installed via Fantastico so that your site remains secure.

I'm with gazzie; Fantastico is the only option above that I've ever used, and I haven't had any problems with it or been given any reason to use anything else.

I prefer to install everything myself the first time, but I see no point in doing it over and over if I've already done it before and know exactly what I'm getting.

I'm another one that has only used Fantastico. Although, I perfer to install manually because if anything goes wrong, I can probably fix it. Also I get more customer support if I uploaded the files myself.

Fantastico is certainly a great tool to install difficult scripts with a single click. You can save time and you won't have to install the scripts manually if you have Fantastico

There are other addons and tools which can install some applications and scripts with a single click, however, those addons aren't successful enough and hence users do not prefer those tools When it comes to Fantastico, it is very successful in establishing itself as a one click installation tool and hence users like Fantastico

I have never used anything besides Fantastico and I'm satisfied with it completely. I don't think it can get simpler and more intuitive than that.

I am with web hosting provider that uses its own custom made one click script installer. It is very intuitive and as easy as Fantastico.
