That *never* seems to work out nicely, and it certainly won't work with version 4.0 as we swapped out to a completely different compiler. Make certain to extract and install to its own dedicated directory and not over some existing directory.
Perhaps the "qb64pe" directory in the Windows 7Zip archive could be versioned e.g. "qb64pe400" to minimize the merge issues that people have with every new release?
A user can always rename that directory after unzipping if they so choose.
For the other common issues, the archive could include at the top level a "!!!!!READMENOW!!!!!.TXT" file with all the dos, don'ts, shalls, and shall nots.
Or perhaps the Release Announcement forum page could have a !!!!READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLING!!!!! page?
