SETUP.EXE
Suppose you want to install a MySQL/ODBC Connector for Windows. You go to the MySQL website and download the installer, which is named something useful like mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.12-win32.zip.
Then you unzip it. What’s it then called?
Yes: Setup.exe.
Just like hundreds of other Windows installers. No clue as to what it will install.
And on a Mac? Well, it’s disk image. So it unpacks itself and pops it on your desktop. What’s the package called: mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.12-apple-darwin8.2.0-powerpc.pkg
A bit more obvious, huh?
