Every fucking time.

Why is this shit allowed?

It's to prevent retards like you throwing bitchfits over why the game won't start because you're missing software on your best buy laptop.

this wouldn't be happening if you were playing on superior consoles that have been pre-setup for you

It could, but it doesn't, just in case. It's call "idiotproofing" and it's for your benefit.

That's exactly what it's doing you fuckwit. It's checking if you have them and then installing them if you dont and skipping it if you do. it says "installing" because it's pointless to say "checking" then "installing" or "you already have it"

Stop bitching, you must have a toaster if this shit bothers you, When it blinks up for me it's there for around 1second. Stop being poor and own a decent computer.

A good software developer assumes you, the enduser, have exactly none of the libraries needed and includes them in their package. Developers always need to assume this because endusers find infinite ways to be retarded.
