Installer vs. zip or executable exe? - Stack Overflow
Some .exe files can be ran straightly, though (it's probably cause they don't have much source files to extract, huh?). I was wondering, what's the difference between an installer, that just extracts the files, and a zip (rar, iso..) file, that you could download ,just depending on your internet speed, in up to few seconds.
