Ah, depends what you mean by installer :)

I meant the layman's installer which pops up the license screen and
unzips everything, not the fancy one.

I think weekly promotions should have the name embedded in the zip file
since most of us download them every week and create our own folders.
Stable builds are anyways named, like v3-preview or something similar.
