Re: installshield vs zip nmap

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

Mike,

The installer has several features that the zip file does not:

1. Zenmap is included in the installer, but not in the zip file.
2. Ndiff is included as a self-contained executable, but with the zip file
you need a working Python installation.
3. The installer has an option to add the included commands to your PATH so
that you can easily run them from any command window.
4. The installer includes the latest WinPcap installer with a silent
install option.
