Download installation package

What's inside

A quick overview:

Double-click setup in the folder you extracted and the program starts. No installer runs on the side; the archive is a plain zip. Picking a destination folder, or stepping through a wizard, does not happen. The program does not leave a separate uninstaller entry behind. You might get the Windows warning a single time because the file is unsigned. The folder carries both the program and its data. The setup file does not leave a separate uninstaller entry behind. The extracted folder can be renamed after extraction.

Get it running

• Extract the contents of the zip archive to a folder of your choice.
• If Windows SmartScreen appears, click on 'More info' and then select 'Run anyway'.
• Locate and double-click on the file named setup to start the program.

If something goes wrong

High-DPI scaling makes text tiny. Right-click setup, open Properties, Compatibility, Change high DPI settings, and set Override to System.

Path Too Long Error. Windows may report that the path is too long when trying to access files. To resolve this, extract the contents closer to the root of the drive.

Windows rejected the path as too long. Choose a place nearer the drive root and extract there.

File may be blocked after download. If you encounter issues starting the program, check the file properties. You may need to tick 'Unblock' and apply the changes before trying again.

The old link did not follow the move. Ignore the leftover link and launch setup inside the folder you moved to.

Zip tool reports extraction failed. Try a different unpacker. The file is a plain zip, so built-in Windows Explorer or 7-Zip both handle it.
