Should i keep the set up file's for software ,iv never deleted them but im just wondering if i should keep these files for good keeping in case of problems. Iv never had issues with my software yet but if i get a virus or delete something i need to run a specific software ,will i need the setup file to repair it.

I would like to know how i can make back ups

If someone can give my some links on how to keep my software rock solid and unchanged that would be great because i would really like to know.

I usually keep my installers. You never know when you might need to install again.

[guy2]

So they are useful ,i thought so

Does the installer require the internet to work?

[Phantom010]

It depends on the program. Some of them indeed do.

Software im worried about is none internet related i don't know if this would make a difference ,music creation software and so forth.

I don't care if the software isn't up to date to the latest standards i just want them to run correctly.

The software im talking about is already on my desktop PC that's not a internet computer for safety reasons.

Some programs will only use the Internet to get some updates. If not connected to the Internet, they should install anyway.

[guy2]

Well this is good to know seeing how i can't update these programs anyway with no connection.

I will just reinstall then and go buy some storage as well ,im finding allot of my old software is going bad but at least i have the installation files.

This one is solved ,thank you Phantom
