One thing many of our users liked about the self extracting archives is that they wrote no information at all to the Windows registry. Also optional is an automatic setup of file associations for SPR / MPR / LYT and SET files. The installer is very non-intrusive, it just extracts LFS into the specified folder and adds an icon to your desktop (if you wish) and a start menu item (if you wish). Vista and Windows 7 users should preferably not use their Program Files folder because of some issues that come up. The installer gives you a default folder of C:\LFS but you can choose wherever you like.
This will make it a lot easier for new users to install LFS, and there are also benefits for existing users. The main reason for this new version is that LFS really needed an installer. It is compatible with version Z, so does not contain the new tyre physics or the VW Scirocco.
We have released a new, full version with an installer and a some updates : Z28
