I started by clicking de-select all. This made it obvious. I will say that initially I didn't know how to select or not select. It started with everything selected.
 
First step should be de-select all then click to select what you want.


Thats the way I did it too. I found it easy and quick.

I don't own the Total Bundle just 16 separate plugins from different bundles.
 
- So if I select only the Plugs I have licenses for will they remain licensed or does the Beta plugs time out in 15 days?
 
- Also, I assume the Beta will replace the 8.10 versions?

Yes, it replaces the older versions unless you install in a different location.
 
I didn't have to re-enter my license.
 
I will let you know if my license expires.

Reverified that the new installer is way bigger than the past, and will dump anything Melda makes onto your system. Radical departure from previous installation packages.
 
Deselecting everything and choosing the free bundle works okay, if you are a leech like me and riding on the free stuff. Otherwise, let the flood gates open...

Love the New installer! It saved me a bunch of time!! Great Job Vojtech!!!
 
The UI's are looking good also but I did encounter a few quirks while setting them up. I can already tell that I will be getting much more use out of these plugs.

I'm really not a fan of those type of installers.  i get that it is a foot in the door, but to me it is actually less useful.  The free bundle alone creates curiosity about the higher end products.  Encouraging me to install trial versions right from the start kills my time limit for all the trials at once since there is no way i am going to give a serious try to so many things at once.

I'm generally not a fan, either. But this one will be a nice convenience for me because I have many Melda products and updates are frequent. Ideally, customers would be given a choice between all-at-once and individual installers, but nobody's ever gone to that trouble, AFAIK. 
 
I'm just guessing here, but there may be another reason for implementing this installation method. I'm thinking that Vojtech may have pulled common code out of the plugins and moved it into a shared runtime library. This would substantially reduce each plugin's size, and would make it easier to implement his new chainer Mxxx (still in beta). Just a guess. At least, that's what I would have done.

He's done exactly that. The installer for the total, bundle is now only about one third the size of version 8.1

There are 2 library files installed in the C:/ root directory totalling about 50 MB with the remaining 60 MB being taken up with about 70 plugins.. None are very big at all and take very little processor. Even for processors with look ahead functions.

Lots to look at and play with here. I think. Need a few weeks locked away with this bundle. Wooppee

Smooth enough except for not paying attention to the install options on the right side the first time around. Everything installed and that is not something I wanted. I cleaned that up on a second attempt (after cleaning the melda folders) by first clicking the deselect all button. Next I selected the free bundle button and then the individual plugs I have licenses for...  I like the installer just fine now.
