[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 879306, member: 83059"] That does seem a little sloppy. Honestly, this is one of my big gripes with Windows culture -- the concept of a self-extracting standardized archive shouldn't be accepted in this day and age. I usually just get 7zip so I can manually extract the package via the right-click menu -- it's a lot to ask of me to trust that double-clicking an EXE simply extracts an archive. I would much rather they just distribute things as a .zip or if they really want the efficiency of 7zip, ask users to install 7zip and then distribute the archive as a .7z. [/QUOTE]
