[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?

Gracenote has a round robin for its DNS and they have changed it several times.
Copy the below and make it a batch file (zap2it_check.bat) and then run it every so often (or when your automated update fails) you can check the dns to see if the round robin has changed. If so you can just reedit your hosts file.

I can confirm that. After reinstalling MP1.31(x86) I mistakenly installed the x64 version MpUrlSourcesplitter. Then I got the error. After uninstalling MpUrlSourcesplitter(x64) I installed the MpUrlSourcesplitter(x86). But the error message still comes.
