Comment(by phobos):

 TBB should not be installed. TBB should not be extracted. It should be a
 single-file download which a user runs and magically Tor Browser appears
 and works. Installers, extractors, and anything that involves a user doing
 something is not the direction we should be going. The entire point of TBB
 is to be lightweight and zero-install, and someday, zero-footprint. Any
 other direction seems wrong to me.
