There is something I don't understand about the installer: It seems that localized strings from properties directories are dynamically loaded ( from some URL) when the Installer is started.
I understand that strings that are dependent on the installer script are loaded dynamically. But why these ? isn't it possible to have them embedded in the app, so that they are available at startup. I think I can guess the answer: this is so that we can add dynamically other locales or fix localization errors without having to deliver a new installer. But given that locales are rather stable, and localization errors are fixed during the testing, is that benefit worth all the trouble: - UI labels empty when connection is slow - if resource bundles are not available, we cannot even display the error. Just wondering...

The error should be logged in the console and also could be displayed in the progress, just below the current step progress message, in red. Ie. "Downloading XXXXXX" Error: couldn catch url. I don't think we need an alert, and the red square is visible enough... WDYT?

There is no obvious place to display an error. Should we popup an Alert? Blink the "Install Log" button? Change the text color for "Install Log" to red? I think I'm going to try blinking. I tried red, but didn't like it. Then we don't have to localize the strings in an Alert.
