I really don't get with this Windows idea of building an installer
when a plain old *.zip file would do, especially for a simple
collection of data files. It's not as if data files require registry
keys to associate stuff with them.

The www.sysinternals.com people manage to do whole programs
without big and complicated installers. If anybody should know the
best way to do things, it's probably them.

I think every Windows system can extract a *.zip file now.
The feature was added to the OS, and prior to that everyone
was installing WinZip.
