TODO:

Request that testers on windows can give their opinion about what's better:

1: Include an openssl binary internally to KruxInstaller

  • PROS:
    • Facilitating the user experience
  • CONS:
    • Giving up the self-verification of installed programs.

2: Asking to install only one openssl recommendation

  • PROS:
    • A compromise between facilitating the user experience and allowing self-checking of installed programs.
  • CONS:
    • Requires one or more steps before using KruxInstaller.

3: Asking to install one openssl from many options:

  • PROS:
    • Allows freedom of choice between options and self-verification;
    • Opens the possibility of including a user configuration, being able to modify choices.
  • CONS:
    • Requires one or more steps before using KruxInstaller;
    • Giving up the user experience, which can lead to confusion.
