Design note: some additional considerations installing Blender 4.5 LTS to Windows 11;
*.zip vs. *.msi (exe)
For Windows systems, Blender is available as a ZIP and/or MSI (exe) file. The difference generally is that the *.msi (*.exe) file is typically used for first-time installations where no other versions are present. The *.zip on the other hand, is preferred when Blender is installed to a flash drive or other portable storage – Blender is a stand alone application that doesn’t specifically need to be ‘registered’ with the operating system to run – or where other installations of Blender are present that have their own application histories and properties that need to be kept or maintained – manually extracting the ZIP won’t overwrite or reset these.
