Advantages: Easy to use, cheap for regular users, easy to install Disadvantages: Not that many new features from version 7.0
Having used AOL 7.0 for almost a year I recently did the logical thing and upgraded to AOL 8.0. Having since also installed the version on my Sisters PC I can write from both the upgrade and first time installation angles.
The actual installation of the new software was easy and painless. Running the installation is automatic and starts once the CD has been entered into the drive. The screen appears with a selection for current members and one for new members. The simple prompts and questions have click able answers and were easy to understand. Throughout the whole process an installation bar appears at the bottom of the screen and reveals the percentage completed. Both installation from scratch and the upgrade take around three minutes.
The upgrade saves all the previous settings from the old version including any files ...

Manufacturer's product description
InstallShield Developer creates great Windows Installer setups. It makes quick work of common installation tasks and dramatically increases efficiency, no matter how simple or complex the project may be. It contains over 20 task-based wizards and more than 20 simplified task views. Adding files, registry entries, and other elements is as easy as dragging and dropping them in the appropriate view. This can be accomplished using the standard InstallShield Developer IDE or when running Developer inside the Visual Studio .NET IDE. A Visual Dialog Editor is available to customize existing dialogs or create new ones, and it is possible to use any one of 33 pre-translated runtime languages. Developer will automatically find and include required file dependencies, automatically add third-party technology dependencies using over 40 included merge modules, and automatically add the latest source files at build time. InstallShield Developer also offers maximum power and flexibility, enabling you to meet all of your customization requirements. InstallShield Developer enables deployment of your software package to the entire range of Windows targets, from Windows 95 to Windows XP. .NET applications are fully supported, as are applications that mix .NET and traditional Win32 code. Installations for Web Services and 64-bit applications can be created as well. All application types can be distributed on standard and custom media up to 4GB. Users are guided through build filtering and layout options via the Release Wizard. One-Click Install for Internet or network deployments offers users a seamless download and installation process with one click from a web site. Advanced compression options and the option to only install the setup engine when needed will save bandwidth during deployment. Password protection and digital signature options improve security. When it is time to update your applications deployed with Developer, the QuickPatch project type can be used to deliver small updates containing changed files and registry entries. Full patches and upgrades can also be created and automatically validated. Debugging installations is facilitated by the integrated script Debugger, MSI UI Sequence Debugger, MSI Validation process, and Test Run options. Build report logs and validation logs keep a history of activity for future reference. Source code control integration makes short work of project versioning, allowing installation projects to be managed in the same way as other application code. It is also possible to modify projects programmatically, using the automation interface, so that both project updates and project builds can be performed without human intervention. The Clean Build System functionality enables the build process to take place in a tightly controlled environment. Projects are easy to move from one location to another when Path Variables are used to define the location of the source files. Many opportunities exist to reuse project work: Project Templates can be created and distributed to set a standard or jump-start development; merge modules can be authored to share large project segments and/or publish redistributables for the industry; individual dialogs, components, and custom actions can be copied directly into another project.
