The "Install .exe" on the main page looks sloppy to me. My brain wants to read it as "Install.exe" and wonders why there's a space before the dot. What the author actually meant is probably "Installation executable".

That's "The Button" on the main D page, so I suggest we use a better title. How about "Download for Windows"? https://i.imgur.com/T5jdh7J.png

Well, if one visits the site sending a GNU/Linux user-agent, there will be those two buttons instead:

 - Install .deb
 - Install .rpm

And that's why it shows "Install .exe" on for Windows users.

Still better as Installation Executable or at the very least no space.

I did a quick dig through Chrome Dev Tools and found the button text is generated in a javascript file. Easy enough to change:

I'll check back on it later when the tests have finished to make sure it rendered properly.

And I just realized it won't render properly because I overlooked one line. Bah.

Your solution was so much better than anything suggested here!
