Please change the installer experience !!!

Please add a splash screen and meaningfull names to the installer processes, when i clicked the installer file and saw the animation the first thing i tought was "Hmm... is this pencil ?"
So i went to task manager and the process was Update.exe.
"Crap i'm installing a virus!"

So, can you please add a splash saying "Pencil" and change the process name to "pencil-installer" or something like that ?

You just scared the crap out of me ! :)

• Operating system: Windows 7
• Pencil version:3.0.0-rc.1

I actually loved this animation. It's very fun and relevant.

I think @carlos-ferreira is a bit too paranoid ;)

But I agree it would make sense to add some text/title with "Pencil" name in it.

Me paranoid !? How do you know my user is @carlos-ferreira !?!? You're NSA!!!! :)
Just kidding, i just think the window should have a title and the process should have an easy identifiable name, Update.exe could be from a thousand apps ( i know you can see the process dir, but from the task manager a meaningfull name would be nicer).

Cheers.

The installer made by the current Electron Builder method is indeed bad. We are going to drop that and get back to the traditional installation wizard which creates predictable file names.
