When downloading, the two options you usually get are the installer exe or the Zip file. The latter is just the Blender folder (that you would get anyway from the installation process) compressed into a single archive. The end result is the same but the Zip file can usually be installed on a portable drive too which some people like to do.

Yes, but I downloaded the exe and it gave me the option between "blender blender" or "blender library". I ended up choosing the library option as I assume it's an "include everything" option, but it doesn't actually say anywhere what the difference is except file size.

Any an all misspellings are henceforth blamed on the cats.

I also started up Outlook which apparently meant installing it, before I remembered I use Thunderbird at home. Now I can't decide whether to use Outlook or Thunderbird. :dumb:

But that option says it requires 0 kb as if it installs nothing at all :pout:

And while installing things on my new computer, my old computer now has 8 GB space left - it had 16 just the other day. :dumb:

It's Blender. What it says and what it actually does have never been remotely related

Oh. :dumb:

And now artRage is not cooperating. *sigh*
I found my artRage 6 installer but it just "blinks" and closes again. I tried to run as administrator and got to say, yes, do, and then nothing. *grumbles*

Did you try disabling the anti virus thing you have installed?

Not yet...

I went on to try to install thunderbird which worked but then I realised I have a password I need on a paper somewhere, that I received some 10 years or more ago. I did keep it safe, question is where.... :dumb:

and I started installing EOS but I'm not sure why we got it via Epic - isn't it always free? I'm so confused.
