Thanks for reporting, I had hoped that we fixed this. How did you
extract the zip archive, using the Windows Explorer or some external
program? Did you move / copy the extracted directory to C:\Nobackup ?

I extracted it using Win Explorer ("Extract all"), directly into it's current location. I just tried to extract using 7-Zip instead and then everything works as it should. When I extracted using Win Explorer, it seems that "Date modified" is set to the extraction time, both on folders and individual files, whereas 7-Zip preserves the date from the Zip archive.

Googling around a bit, I found https://www.tenforums.com/general-support/177551-how-do-i-preserve-original-folder-file-timestamp-zip-file.html, which explains how to unblock the extra security "feature" in Explorer that's behind these problems. Unfortunately, doing so requires admin rights on the machine, so for users with a locked machine that don't have 7-Zip installed it seems difficult to keep the file modification times when extracting the Zip. On the other hand, the previous installers can't be installed without admin rights either, so the new Zip distribution is at least a step in the right direction for Win users without admin rights (on the other hand, you shouldn't procrastinate work tasks by typesetting music on your employers computer, should you?)
