titleIguana runs as a single executable

Under windows and linux Iguana ships as a single executable. It has all its resources for HTML, Javascript etc. all built into one executable.

In fact for windows the ‘installer’ that you see is really just the Iguana executable running in a different mode. By renaming the file to be iguana_setup.exe and running it, it will run in its installer mode.

Updating Iguana is very straightforward because of this architecture.
