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.
I am running Win 7, 32 bit. When I double click on the .exe file, it shows a window saying "extracting" which is similar to what you would see if you are trying to extract files from a zip file. I tried the same thing with the 2.4 version and get the same results. It is almost as if the computer sees the .exe file as a zip file, not an executable.
