New installation, questions too basic to find.
I, very recently, completed the purchase od ATI2016. I never participated in any trial distribution. During this online purchase, I retained all information distributions produced during the purchase process. And, I have all that information neatly organized, and immediately available.
However, during that purchase process, I was presented with 3 download links(a functional copy of this panel was also emailed to me). This is the panel that identifies your Cleaverbridge #, and product key.
Additionally, the 1st DL link is titled - "Acronis True Image for Windows".
The 2nd DL link is titled - "Acronis True Image for Mac".
And the 3rd DL link is titled - "Acronis Universal Restore".
So, for Win/PC, I chose #1 and #3. Receipt of these DLs produced an .exe file of 415MB+ for #1, and an .msi file of 331MB+ for #3.
Is the .exe file of 451MB+ just merely the common installer? I'm not savvy on a .msi file, how is it used in this install?
I'm sorry for such elementary questions, but I did try hard to find the correct use of these DL'd files. I just need validation of my next step before making a bad assumption.
Thanks,

Thank you Enchantech, for your comprehensive explanation. I was good on the #1 installer application, but stumped on the #3 .msi data. Yes, I have been reading the 161pp usr guide, FAQs, and more recently, topics in these forums. However,, this seems like a very complex application, and sometimes the most simple misunderstandings may be answered elsewhere. I was also captivated by the #2 DL file for MAC. Specifically, that it was 1/5 the size of the #1 DL for the Win/OS. Thanks again for your help.
