Installer /extract: extracts into current directory if target not exists

[AnrDaemon]

It's good that the archive contents is in a subdirectory, but there's at least one other file temporarily extracted outside it.
Installer should either create the target directory, or warn about its absence, IMO.

Well, first, the installer (& extractor), is not my app. And second, I definitely do *not* support that kind of installation (nor do I want to encourage it in any way!).

It was not an "installation", no. It was an extraction.

It was not an "installation", no. It was an extraction.

For what possible reason?

 

[AnrDaemon]

To get a help file, of course.

Why not just download the help file from the downloads page on the web site?

I don't see it available for download.

Look near the bottom of the "All Downloads page." It is both and EPUB format and a PDF format.

"Help file" meaning the .CHM ?

Of course. Or .hlp, but you do not supply these.

They are useless.
