Just wanted to say that I am one of those that download .zip files
exclusively. I just like the "clean old dir and unzip new content" part
when in update, and as for the explorer integration, I already have .reg
files for that. I still have not tried the installer though, part of
that may ome from me being afraid of the it putting other files that I
don't know, in some other dir, but that's just me being deluded. Also,
as Bram said, I do suspect that a large portion of that comes from scripts.
