Overview
The most used version is 2.9.8, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version.

The software installer includes 11 files and is usually about 48.8 MB (51,168,425 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 7 (SP1) as well as Windows 10.
