(...) As announced (URL) here> the Windows distribution is no longer a self-extracting zip file, because we wanted to give new users a more friendly installation interface. As a side-benefit we were able to allow the optional installation of the (...) (16 years ago, 31-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Since some popular LDraw programs are available for the Mac these days - LDView, LPub, L3Lab, and of course Bricksmith - I think it's only reasonable to provide parts updates in a format readily accessible to Mac users. Happily, the (URL) (...) (16 years ago, 31-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) When satisfying both is trivial (like here) then you should satisfy both. Personally I would have preferred to dump the executable zip and just leave it as a regular zip. Tim (16 years ago, 31-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Not really a helpful message! If you have a question - then ask that question. There are approx. 95% and more Windows users for LDraw and the remaining 5% or less are Linux and Apple users. So which direction you would go to satisfy the (...) (16 years ago, 30-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Note that most programs that can extract ZIP files should be able to extract the contents of the EXE file - self-extracting ZIPs are valid ZIP files themselves. ROSCO (16 years ago, 30-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Chris has now changed the zip to include ldraw as part of the paths inside, instead of being rooted inside the ldraw directory, so it now works again with LDView's automatic library install. --Travis (16 years ago, 26-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) This appears to be the 2008-01 release: (URL) is the file that's linked to from the updates CGI that LDView uses for automatic updates. See here: (URL) that the CGI hasn't been updated to reflect the fact that this is 2008-01 instead of (...) (16 years ago, 26-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Actually with the new license anyone can repackage it as a regular zip. I suspect most zip programs could open the executable zip anyway. But I agree that ldraw.org should make it available in a universal format. I'd guess it just slipped (...) (16 years ago, 26-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) That's goofy. The content of the library update is a group of LDraw files, not a program. Zip is a common and perfectly reasonable format for distributing such files; it is natively supported on most operating systems I'm aware of. Packing (...) (16 years ago, 25-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
