Indeed. IMHO installing TeX Live on a fresh new Windows computer in a home
netzwork using the online installer is very uncomplicated. And indeed do not
really need a lot of screenshots of the graphical installer.

If a typical user first tries to absolutely harden his Windows computer against
all kinds of attacks and only then installs TeX Live, this looks quite
different, but is not really caused by the online installer.

The greatest difficulties are to be expected if a simple user tries to install
on his domain-managed company computer in the administered company network.
But again this cannot be blamed on the online installer.

But all such problems are very individual. So I've stopped to tell people my
own installation story. Instead I tell them, that they should do the default
installation and read all messages carefully. If they have a problem, they
should make screenshots or if possible copy messages from the terminal window
and ask their individual questions.

Just my 2 cent.
