• a Windows executable (.exe) file
• a .zip file (compressed archive) containing a Microsoft Installer (MSI) package,
language transform files and the FCRepackager tool
The 64-bit versions of these files have “_x64” in the name. If you are running 64-bit
Windows, you must use a 64-bit installation package.
