Blender doesn't run out of the box really out of the box always.

My point is, after extracting the archive containing blender, it doesn't
always run straight out of the box, at least, a last step to make it really
run is necessary.

It may be a permission requirement on the part of the user and not blenders
fault, but a new user who reads blender works "out of the box" and can't
get the "blender" file to run after extracting won't suspect his end to be
the issue.
