Don't understand PSP 2018 downloaded files

Post by gingerbread »

I just upgraded to PSP 2018.

I downloaded the small "PSP2018_Ult.exe" file from the Corel link. When I ran it, it downloaded a 400MB .zip file called "psp2018_ult.zip" which has the setup.exe inside.

I never unzipped this file, but nevertheless PSP seems to have installed properly - presumably from the .zip??

If I need to reinstall in the future, do I use that original .exe file again, or do I unzip the zipped file and use the setup.exe in there?

You can do it either way -- though using that small file will automatically look for any updates or service packs which have been released. I'm not sure if the zip file .exe will do that. But of course using the small file means that the whole package will be downloaded again.
