QUAKE92P.ZIP may have been called QUAKE92P.EXE at some point? (just like the direct link to BETA5A.EXE, they're both sfx executables)
the INSTALL.BAT that's inside it tries to delete QUAKE92P.EXE after running the Deice installer.

QUAKE92P.EXE is a self-extracting LHA archive that DEICE unpacks into the Quake directory and then runs to extract/overwrite the updated files. Once done the EXE is deleted.

This is a rather typical "installer" routine that existed back then. Old Apogee/3D Realms installers function exactly the same way, except some of them have a GUI other than DEICE (often with cool ASCII art logos), and the SFX EXE archive is a verified PKZIP rather than LHA.
