Summary0004001: OS X installer checkbox should be a statement
DescriptionAfter the installer/updater finishes, the closing screen has a checkbox that says "Do you want to launch A Valley Without Wind now?"

The checkbox should read "Launch A Valley Without Wind." instead.

Very minor bug, just wanted to throw it out there.

Um, why? Shouldn't it stay they way it is so you can uncheck the box if you don't actually want to run the game right after you install it?

I think s/he's talking about the phrasing of the UI.

The question as phrased would suggest a "Yes/No" select box or radio button.

The fact that there's a checkbox implies that it should have checkbox-ish text, which is what s/he suggested.

I don't know, I've seen that screen a lot with installing updates and it has always made sense to me. Check the box for 'yes', uncheck it for 'no'.

It makes sense to me too. :)

But, that doesn't mean it's following the typical semantic use of a checkbox in UI design.

Yeah, im not saying it doesn't make sense, I am just saying that a question does not mesh with the function of a checkbox.
