    You didn't extract the program, thus it's running in a temporary folder where it has no permission.

    Please extract the program to desktop or something like that. That should work.

    A single exe in a zip will work fine but windows extracts the exe to a temporary folder and runs it there, if it reads from another file of course that original file is still in the zip not the temporary folder so it won't work, the application doesnt get write permissions in that temporary folder so it can't save any files it requires. So nice and simple, don't do it.

    no doubt the existing download link you can already access will be switched for the new updater upon launch in 3 or 4 days (I could just look at the live tab, but so can you)

    Just because you made a second account doesn't mean you should be any less banned.
