    Some developers have been surprised to discover JustCode and JustTrace installed on their system after installing JustDecompile. Whereas most simply try out the tools or uninstall them, some have expressed concern that we’re bundling software in the installer. Suffice to say, we’re not. But, if we’re not bundling other products in the installer, what’s really going on? Web Installer Launcher When you download JustDecompile (which is free) or one of our trial products, you actually receive a lightweight web installer launcher.
