This looked like the best place to post this.


Is it safe to delete the 2 gb+ file after extracting everything from it?

    - if you want to keep the installer on your HDD, archive the .zip folder
    - if you want to burn the installer on a DVD, burn the extracted files and delete teh .zip folder
    PW has been endless frustration for me #2

    The zip/rar file contains the files needed, when you extract the files, you copy the ones in the zip/rar files in another folder, so the extracted ones are the files needed. You don't need the zip/rar file after extracting, but it could be nice to save if you ever need it again you won't have to download it all again.

    Yeah, if you have a WORKING, COMPLETE download of the client, and it works well for you, I would keep it archived on your hard drive or burn it to DVD-ROM to make things easier on you if you have to re-install later, or want to install it on another computer! :D
