Irritating names of automatically created recovery points

[kakii]

The system recovery tool applies irritating names to recovery points
generated automatically.
On some occasions system recovery creates such points on installation of
a new application.
I always supposed, these points are created before the installation
procedure starts. This would be the most logical progress.
But the name of the point suggest, it has been taken after the
installation process has finished.

When are these points created ?
Before or after the installation process ?
If before, why are these points called like xxxx..installed ?

Restore points are created for a number of reasons:

.. Windows automatically creates a restore point once every day, when the
system is otherwise idle.

.. Any time you run Windows Update and a system update is successfully
installed, a restore point is created before the installation takes place.

.. Whenever you use System Restore to roll back your system, a restore point
is automatically created in case you want to undo the operation.

.. You can manually create a restore point at any time, which is recommended
if you are about to embark on risky work on your PC, such as installing
unsupported hardware or manually tweaking your Registry.

Mine are called "Installed xxx xxx" <- which tells me that was when I
installed said application and that if I restore this point - I will be to
the point before I did install said application. It is called that because
having "Installed xxx xxx" was the action that prompted the creation of said
restore point.

It is, admittedly, open to interpretation like everything else is. Where
you might read that this was the point after the application was installed,
I see it as a point made before I installed said application and someone
else might think it was the installation itself. What it means is this
restore point was taken before "Installed xxx xxx".

I don't agree with you. It is no interpretation point in case of point this
types.
Are these points being created before the app installation starts, theirs
names
should be "Before xxxxx". The formulation "xxxx installed" points out
unumbiguous, the application had been installed before the point was created.

Actually - it is interpretation.
I didn't say it could not be made to where it was not open for
interpretation - but at this point in time - it is.

My interpretation is that the system restore point was made before the
installation because I have read that, learned it and so - my interpretation
is that.. I know what they mean when they make those restore points and name
them what they do. I studied the material, researched the topic - so my
interpretation is an "educated on the matter at hand" interpretation.

Should it have to be that way? Probably not - on that we agree.

I would not expect "Joe User" to have read up on the matter and be educated
on what the names mean and when the restoration points are made - so they
should be clarified (in the case of an OS with the reach of one such as XP)
with "Before" or some other adjective explaining more precisely when the
restoration point was created. This is just like anything else - someone
familar with a topic may have a different interpretation than someone not
familar with said topic.
