As we just released a new version, I am looking at the
download  
numbesr and see to my surprise that the download between
.zip file  
and .msi file is very evenly spread.

Now both packages are content-wise identical, the setup
creates a  
program group for you, put's DLLs in the GAC, but that is
all. I  
would have assumed that most developers would pick the .msi
install,  
as this is the common install technology on Windows.

We would like to get some feedback on why people choose the
.zip  
download in favor of the .msi. The reason i like to know
this is,  
that we like to know the platforms this library get's used
on. This  
has effects on future features - if i know that more people
than i  
thought use this on non Windows OS systems, we need to
adjust our  
plan for .NET accordingly.

Thank you for your cooperation
