You are not kidding.

Last night, I suffered a yet another recurrence of a most frustrating
phenomenon.  But with Microsoft it's not a phenomenon but more like
a feature.

I tried to install a very "professional" piece of software (SAP Business
One).  On the "Hello" screen there was a button: "Continue."  After clicking
I get a window with a simple error statement.  Then nothing.  I can't proceed.
I can't go backward.  I have to terminate the process with Task Manager.

No logs.  No diagnostics.  Nothing.

I can only imagine what would be done in an actual "on the job"
setting.  There's be much wasted time and money.

With Linux I can get oodles of information for every (rare) failure.
Microsoft, and its software "partners," apparently do not want to
burden their delicate user base with potentially cryptic messages.
They'll offer a "help line" at $99.99 per minute instead.
