Seems like unnecessary server bloat. Is installing a PHP script that much work?
I'm Techtarded.
It does work but it's not perfect. It won't update the scripts and doesn't always have the latest version.
Honestly I recommend just learning to follow in the install.php it's not that hard (will take you afternoon with google at the most).

Installing Softaculous and spending however much they want for it is probably more work than installing MyBB 20 times.
For awhile I used a web host that provided Softaculous in the control panel. Nothing I looked at was out of date. All the scripts I tried worked. I was notified by email of updates, and Softaculous was able to do updates at the push of a button. This is much more than I expected.
I should add, though, that all I really used it for was to allow a bunch of people to test drive 10 different forums. So I can't vouch for every single program they provide. But at least the forum software was installed and updated flawlessly, including MyBB. Which is much more than I can say for Fantastico.
I don't know how easy or hard it is to install. I signed up with a host that offered it, just so I would not have to install and update 10 different forums during the test. I don't use it to install MyBB on my own sites.
Meh. It's useful because I can install/uninstall stuff like MyBB, Drupal and WordPress easily (useful for test boards), but otherwise it's sort of so-so.
