Markey Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 It would be really helpful if there's a common location for the MSI I can deal with it if it's zipped, would be better if it wasn't and it doesn't seem to pack much anyway.

Rick Brewster Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 EXEs and MSIs are always distributed inside of a ZIP. Not for the compression, but for the simple fact that any unzip program will validate the integrity of the enclosed file as part of extracting it from the archive. It is very easy to download a 'raw' file, have it be corrupted somehow (bad network card, etc.), and wind up with a corrupted install. This isn't theoretical -- this is exactly what used to happen. Not for many, of course, but just enough. It even happened to a friend of mine: the new PC he put together was having all sorts of issues with Internet downloads, it turned out to be a bum NIC. This was back in like 2005 though.
