VM First
Agreed.
Agreed.
A backup HDD/SSD Image is superior to a System Restore Point.
Another option is to:
- Create a VM (e.g. using VMware Player) and store it safely
- Copy the VM
- Install the program into the copy.
- Check the install and test the program
If you are satisfied with the installer's/program's behaviour, you can then install it in your physical machine (after taking the appropriate backup measures).
