    Mac can't use EXE files, so as a rule of thumb always download the .ZIP versions when using Mac.

    Just one little gotcha there — the old Mac zips have an executable installer inside them. The new DIM zips have the bare content, no installer. There are also zip-only downloads for very old products where the installer hasn't worked in recent MacOSX versions for years, this has been rolling out slowly for the last several months.

    Other possible sources of confusion: the DIM downloads are all supposed to have the "DIM" logo next to the download button. This is almost, but not quite, 100% accurate. Also, conversion to DIM zips is not complete — DAZ say they have everything newer than Victoria 4 converted now ("now" being a few weeks ago), and they're running backwards through the store as fast as they can.
