Who knows what it is going to "install" and what settings it will change and whether it is going to need admin privileges etc etc.

EDIT: for Windows users, you can avoid running the "installer" EXE file and instead inspect and then extract (with folder structure) the contents of the "installer" EXE file using the free app 7-zip. Does anyone know of a similar app for Linux?
