Why are you providing a .zip file instead of a .rp file?

If you make a .rp file available for direct download from a standard web server, Internet Explorer will append .zip to the name of the file. Of course, if a user then tries to unzip it, they’ll get a directory of files Axure RP can do nothing with, rather than the original .rp file.

The best solution would be to modify the web server config so it serves a .rp file with the correct mime type, but as we’re using code.google.com to host the download, this isn’t an option.

So, it’s better to avoid all that confusion, provide it as a .zip file and have people unpack it, despite the above mac issue.
