What is wrong with you guys? I asked for a zip, like R Studio has for
example. Totally clear.


The responsew you recieved suggest that your question was not as clear as
you expected. You then treated a person trying to help you with disrespect.
This is not an effective way to motivate people to help you.

I cant execute exes. But I can unzip files.
Thanks Gabor, I had that in mind, but can't execute the exe due to security
restrictions.


Again, this information should have been in your original question. By
failing to mention that you had considered and rejected this option for
security reasons you caused Gabor to waste time suggesting it.

The bottom line is that you asked a lazy question and failed to include
helpful information that would have helped people help you. You then
responded rudely when people failed to read your mind. You can and should
learn do better.


Geez, really, treating people who ask questions this way just makes you
don't want to ask a single one.


Learn how to ask as I suggested and I'm confident things will go better
next time.

Best,
Ista
