Like when you send a .7z instead of a .zip or .rar to a friend or a teacher because that’s what your computer has installed and they’re like “Oh No, not one of those, now I have to install 7Zip” even though the same program that opens .rar also opens .7z I feel like people are way more annoyed when they receive a .7z
If the zip file only contains an .exe file, it is fine to do it like that.
Windows will just extract the exe somewhere and execute it.
The problem arises when there are dependent files inside the zip as well. If only the .exe is extracted, it won’t find those.
The 2nd option was the issue :p
