I have windows 10 and have not been able to install any giveaways since my computer was upgraded to 10. I'm using 7 zip for extraction
The files download just fine, and I get the screen with the setup.exe, readme and .gcd but when I click on setup.exe I get a notice from user account control asking if I want this app to make changes to my computer. I click yes and...almost nothing happens.I get a brief flicker of a box with what looks like a green stripe going horizontally, but it just blinks and disappears. Then nothing else happens and I can't find any trace of the program anywhere on my computer.
file won't extract

AdministratorThe most likely cause is still your security software. You should list it, in case others who are using it have some suggestions that are unique to the software. It's not a Windows 10 issue, it's a security issue.
Otherwise, the workarounds from the prior post apply.
But, two other things. First, you need to extract the files, close 7zip, and then execute setup.exe from the directory into which it was extracted. It sounds like you're running it from within 7zip, which is a bad idea. Second, you are trying to install using an administrator account, right? Setup.exe should already be set to "run as an administrator" but you really should use an admin account.
