ekolis Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hi! Longtime Paint.NET user, first time poster here Just thought I'd ask about the Paint.NET installer... Why is it an exe packed in a zip? Why not just distribute the exe? That would make installing Paint.NET slightly more straightforward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W@@dy Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 .zip's compress the files therein last I understood it, so it makes the download smaller and therefore quicker. I do understand what you're saying though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Because it's a much simpler situation when a ZIP is corrupted than when an EXE is corrupted.
