Download Beta as an executable install file?

from Sins Forums

Is there any way to download the Beta as an executable installation file?  When I downloaded it via Impulse, it installed itself automatically.  I ended up uninstalling Sins and then reinstalling and patching to version 1.05, but I'd like to be able to go back and forth between 1.05 and the Beta without having to wait for the download everytime I want to try the Beta.  Can the Beta, thus, be downloaded as an executable installation file that won't auto-install itself?

You can archive the game within Impulse.

Simplest solution then is to just make a copy of the sins folder before you install the beta patch, then. In my experience it doesn't mind the updated registry entries, etc., if you then run the copies independently.
