I thought I'd pass this on for information. This is what happened in Win 10 when I double-clicked the self-extracting .exe for PageEdit.

The extraction was clearly happening but there was no obvious sign of the extracted PageEdit dir afterwards. It certainly wasn't in the same directory as the .exe - which is what is implied in your Help page

I finally tracked it down very deep in a directory, on a different disk drive, owned by my filemanager program (not Win10 FileExplorer), i.e.

Code:

D:\aa_Downloads\PageEdit_0.9.5-Win_x64.exe

was auto-extracted to

Code:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\zabkat\xplorer2\PageEdit\

When I deleted everything and started again, all worked as per the Help page when I opened a standard Win FileExplorer window and did the double-clicking there.

I'm not passing this on to complain or blame, just that it might cause your non-techie users to fall at the first hurdle if they have a different favourite filemanager.
