PC Executable-Only Installation Instructions
  1. Go to your OOTP program directory. By default it is C:\Program Files\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 9
  2. Rename the file "ootp9.zip" to "ootp9.zip.old".
  3. Download the executable file from one of the links above and unzip.
  4. Copy the downloaded file into the OOTP program directory.
  5. Launch the game.
I get to step 2 and I don't see the ootp9.zip. I see ootp9.exe. Is this what I should rename to ootp9.exe.old ? I'm probably missing somethign obvious. Thanks.
I was wondering that too, but I imagine that, yes, he must have been referring to the .exe. The thing I'm wondering now, though, is: does the downloaded zip really need to be in the program directory? I doubt it, but maybe that's why he mentioned the zip before and we were supposed to have it in there before. I like to keep my install files in a separate folder elsewhere.

EDIT: The answer, as Steve has edited the instructions, is: no, you only need to put the new exe from the downloaded zip into that folder. It should have been obvious, I guess, but it seemed like he worded it oddly, but consistently, twice, which must have thrown me.
