[no Bug] useless zipping of installer (1 Viewer)

First of, windows 7 (vista too iirc) has inbuilt zip support, so no need to install anything for most of our users.
I personally don't like it either, but afaik the zips are because some users had problems to download exe files (firewalls and whatnot).

I've long wondered the same thing. And my argument against it would be that firewalls that are cantankerous enough to reject .exe files are also likely to look inside .zip files, so I doubt there's much benefit there. Meanwhile, it's one just one more step to have to deal with.

Exactly what I was thinking as well.
Why zipping an exe for 0,0001% of the users while it brings inconvenience for the rest?
