The reason for these 2 different domains, I'm not going to investigate as I'm not curious enough.

Try to download any version Pro or standard you will find two extension. i know the first one is not known extension by there is to dots in the name it is misleading

Also the link you provided has installer with double extension but different first one so why there is no unique installer also they seem to have different website domains

Exactly why there is multiple domain and also each executable is different, Also support send me different one

Also they should provide hash values for their installer to make sure files have not been modified or changed and check the file integrity.
