Problem getting started at all!

[normanp]

Due to restrictions on the network I am on I could not run the installer.
I therefore extracted all files using 7-zip.
However on first run I see no icons in the New Wizards window (though I do see wizard titles).
I can select a wizard but when I click Go I get the error 'failed to load the wizard's script'
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Many thanks

The installer was not designed to support that - I even didn't know this is possible at all. The installer copies the files in appropriate directories, known only by the installer. I'd guess the problem lies here. Don't use 7-Zip.

You can (however) download a nightly which you can extract and use (its not bundled as installer).

Thanks very much for the quick reply.
I'll try the nightly build.
It would be useful if the application was also provided as just a zip to avoid installer problems.

Probably, but in fact you are the first complaining about the installer. The installer was designed to work also without the need of admin rights. All that is needed is that you do not select an option that is declared to need admin rights and that you are not installing in a folder where you have no access. This usually works just fine for non-admins.

What exactly did fail in your case?
