The Windows installer executables are not cumulative - they are the complete
library - hence "Use this link to download the Windows installer for the
complete library".
The zip archives are just the changes (new files and updates) - hence "Use this
link if you just want a zip version of the update".
There may be occasions when you want to download the complete install from a
particular release, so the names have now been changed. However, LDrawParts.exe
is still maintained as an alias to the latest complete installation.
