If there´s an advantage of making Dolphin to be included with an installer, here it is:
1- Most times, self-extracting files get damaged. It can be when being packed or when the final user extracts them.
2- The installer provides some dynamic libraries (DLLs, that´s it) that some times can´t be detected after the self-extract, and even some files that are missing in your OS in order to run Dolphin correctly.
I do understand your point Raiden, but that was a decision that the devs took about the emulator. And every Dolphin user should respect that.
