    Pretty much. There is no really 'sure' way. Not everyone will have WinZip to unzip. It is tough to come up with the way you want to do it.

      Thanks for your help. So, best I can tell with a quick look, Download.com uses .exe files. Is that why it works with them - because no one is crazy enough to make their browsers execute files, or is it just luck with them, too?
