I am working on a web-app that That has an application to listen to audio. The problem is the playback software requires another piece of software just for the items to be placed on the playback software. Because of scope and money I cannot wrap both installers into one; making it a simpler process. Would

Would it be more user-efficient to:

A) have a user install 2 applications right after each other in the flow. Or

B) have the user install the main application, then later on install the other application when they absolutely need to.

confusing software-install flow for web-app
