A while ago, I mentioned a one-file WP installer, that has since gone missing. Today I just came across something similar, except better: WordPress QI (Quick Installer), from WP god dd32 who is responsible for most if not all of the WP-Filesystem class that’s currently in WordPress and that powers the core/plugin/theme installer/upgrader. I predict this kind script will be officially available from wp.org before too long.

Web installers are definitely worthwhile (as much for auto-configuration as for the uploading). I built one for a script / WordPress plugin I sell and for the most part people love it (unless they get stuck on terms like FTP, but then they are going to have a problem anyway!).
I actually almost adapted it for WordPress the other week, as I couldn’t see much else around. Better someone else has though. ;)
