VN,

You've likely figured things out by now, but directions should be spelled out in the file "readme.txt".

Basically, did you first extract/copy/drag-out both setup.exe and setup.gcd to a folder (a folder of your choice, but preferably one at the root/top-level of drive C: for the least trouble) so that they temporarily exist together (outside of the ZIP file) before launching setup.exe?

After all installation activity is finished you can, of course, delete those two file copies from their temporary location in the folder.

Some more tips:

After downloading, and before opening the ZIP archive/container file for file extraction, on my machine I always display the "Properties" of the ZIP file and usually have to "Unblock" it (on the "General" tab) to prevent Windows Security from protecting against unknown sources which, otherwise, can cause installation problems.

Also, although many people advise against launching the setup.exe (or other installer) file using "Run as administrator", over many years I have had absolutely no issues caused by doing that, thus avoiding system "privilege" issues with the installation and operation of the software application (aside from, perhaps, a poorly written installer itself or a crappy software product) as long as I know/trust the source of the installer to be malware-free.

Additionally, it would be wise to first establish a "system restore point" beforehand, or maybe trial-install in a "sandbox".

If otherwise uncertain of the source, I sometimes take a few extra minutes to perform my own "pre-launch check" by searching online for any reported issues (or, on these pages, simply waiting until more GiveawayOfTheDay comments are posted); trying to find and compare/verify file "hashes" against author/developer-published values; and/or performing my own independent malware check of the contents of the downloaded files on, say, virustotal.com .

Hope this helps in the future.
