The setup package generally installs about 28 files. The installed file Update.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows XP and Windows Vista (SP1). While about 90% of users of ZEngine come from the United States, it is also popular in Brazil.
