The file LTspiceXVII.exe is a self-extracting gzipped file that installs LTspice XVII.
LTspice XVII is updated often. After LTspice XVII is initially installed, you can use a built-in update menu command that will bring your installation to the current revision level if you have access to the web. The update process will first download a master index file from Linear's website that has the size and checksum of each file in the distribution. If a file is missing, is of a different size, or differs in checksum, then that file will be updated. Component databases are merged in the update process so if you've added devices to your installation, those additions won't be lost when you run the automatic update utility.
