            Please note that any changes to the installer screens or process flow will result in changes to the documentation. Please give the tech writers enough notice to do the changes.

            Hallo Andrew

            As requested, I've taken a look at your suggestions. Some comments from me:

            Welcome screen:

            • The Setup wizard is in Confluence not the installer! Change all "Setup" references to "Installer" — Agreed. I raised this in my own previous review of the installer, but the change could not be made because this wording is part of the installation software. (I've tried searching for my earlier issue, but it seems to have disappeared!)
            • Change "...Atlassian Confluence Evaluation on..." to "...the evaluation version of Confluence on..." — Agreed.

            Set destination screen

            • Terminology should be consistent. Use either folder or directory, but not both. — Agreed. This one also I raised previously regarding the terminology on the "Set Installation" and "Set Home" screens, with the same response i.e. this is part of the installation package and cannot be changed.
            • Change "...like Atlassian Confluence Evaluation to be..." to "...like the evaluation version of Confluence to be..." — Agreed.

            Confirm destination screen

            • Terminology should be consistent. Use either folder or directory, but not both. — Agreed. This one also I raised previously regarding the terminology on the "Set Installation" and "Set Home" screens, with the same response i.e. this is part of the installation package and cannot be changed.
            • Better warn users of ramifications e.g. "Installing the evaluation version of Confluence in the chosen directory will delete any existing content from this directory, including existing installations of Confluence. Do you still wish to continue?" — Agreed.

            Configure Ports screen

            • Inform the user which ports Confluence uses by default. — Not sure I agree with this one. We discussed it during the previous review, and decided there was too much risk around forgetting to change the text if we change the Confluence ports. The docs do say which ports are used by default, and the docs fall under the tech writing change control procedures at release of each new Confluence version.

            Start in browser screen

            • Should not be displayed. Refer to CONF-11457. I'm happy either way with this one. Now that the installer is for evaluation purposes only, it's cool to default to just starting Confluence. If we decide to keep this screen, we could change the wording to say "Start using Confluence now".

            • The Setup wizard is in Confluence not the installer! Change all "Setup" references to "Installer" — Agreed. I raised this in my own previous review of the installer, but the change could not be made because this wording is part of the installation software.

            • Remove the text "The application may be launched by selecting the installed icons." as it is incorrect (no icons are installed) — Agreed, but again I have raised this in a previous review, and evidently we can't get rid of these words because they are a standard part of the installer.

            Cancel Setup screen

            • The Setup wizard is in Confluence not the installer! Change all "Setup" references to "Installer" — See my previous comments above.
            • Refer to Confluence by name. Change "...the program..." to "...the evaluation version of Confluence..." — Agreed.
