I much prefer zip files.  If RO wants to introduce the option of zip or .exe I'm ok with that. I just don't want to see RO go all .exe. It's a PITA installing Daz stuff, all that clicking!!

In addition to that, not everyone installs things to the main poser library. I for one use a multitude of external runtimes located on a different hard drive.

Also, anyone who uses Poser knows that you don't just install or unzip anything directly into your runtimes. At least not if you expect to be able to find it and use it again.  Just because the vendor may name their folders one thing, or in many cases, a different name for each library folder, doesn't mean that I want to use those names!

Currently with DAZ .exe files, I install them to a folder on my desktop, just like I unzip .zip files to my desk top, then go through the folders, rename and sort and then move the folders to the appropriate runtime.

If RO wants to offer .exe files, that's great.  So long as it's only an option and not being forced on everyone. I would rather download and use .zip files than to work with .exe files especially if the are like DAZ .exe files which is click after click after click in order to extract the file.

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
