@Brian Royce - One reason it is set up the way it is would be that it can be downloaded and used without having to be an admin on the PC.

Right, so there’s no way to just install it?

@Brian Royce - I don’t know much about these sorts of things.

For context, why are you asking? Is there something that isn’t working? Is there a problem that you are trying to solve? I am genuinely curious, as may be other readers.

Yes i don’t like saving exe files in my backups as a general rule of thumb. 

And my original post said …

I have a shortcut I created in my taskbar at bottom (taskbar does not save exe’s). So if I delete the .exe downloaded file, the shortcut no longer works. Seems really odd.
