Comment(by mo):

 I understand that your goal, phobos, is a one-click executable. What about
 this: We check if TBB it already in %TEMP, if not we extract it there, if
 yes (+ version check), we just launch it.

 Many people will have problems with that approach, because they will not
 find the large executable they downloaded again in their Downloads folder,
 and not expect that they have to run it again.

 I think we have to go with what most Windows users are familiar with.
