Why is the windows runtime/sdk only provided as .exe

[Kevin Rushforth]

Good question. The SDK is available as both an installer and a zip, and 
we could consider make the runtime available as a zip file as well, so 
please file a JIRA feature request for this.

As for your other question, it is not currently possible to have 2.0.2 
and 2.1 instaled side-by-side.
