    Description

      a) It asks the user where "Qt 5.0.0 Installer" should be installed. Of course it should be just "Qt 5.0.0". This applies to practically all pages of the installer wizard.

      b) In the "Select Components" screen, I get the choice:

      • Source Components
      • msvc2010 32-bit
      • Documentation

      Suggest rather:

      • Prebuilt Components for msvc2010 32-bit
      • Documentation
      • Source Components

      c) In the "Select Components" screen, Source Components->Add-Ons can be opened to select individual add-ons to be installed, whereas the binary Add-Ons can not. I don't think we need that level of granularity; i.e. all or nothing is fine I believe.

      d) The files are not installed in alphabetical order. This looks weird, and is less efficient (possibly re-writing already flushed caches, and it potentially fragments the directories).

      e) The "decline" choice in the license question has somewhat bizarre wording: "Please note by checking the box [...]"
