Shouldn't I just be able to click on the executable file and the program begin to run through its' install process? I think I am missing something very simple. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
This is very strange the .exe file should just run as the installer. Are you using 32-bit or 64-bit Windows? I assume that you have the Java runtime installed as this is a pre-requisite.

The install.cmd file should only ever be used if you are installing from the ZIP package - not the Windows .exe variant. I would be interested to know where it says use that file if installing under Windows? If running the .exe installer you should simply get the screen shots shown in the documentation.

I note that you mention the 2.3 release. Despite it being labelled beta, the 2.4 beta 4 release is probably the best release to be using. We are very close to the final 2.4 release.
