   Hi.
   I downloaded and extracted the zip file.
   When I started "Setup.exe" it activated successfully but nothing installed. (GDC-file is in the same directoty as per the readme.txt.
   Tried a second time on another WIN 7 PC, the same.
   What is wrong?
   Thanks for your help.

   PS: Win 7 64-bit

   Your security software is probably preventing the installation, you might check the log files. The activation pop-up really doesn't mean anything other than "the program should have installed".

   The normal workarounds are:
   (a) set an exclusion for the directory in which the unzipped installation files reside
   (b) temporarily disable your security software and install the program
   (c) boot in "safe mode with networking", install the program, reboot normally

   I'd try option (b) first.

   I am using AVG as antivirus, disabling it allowed the installation.
   Strange that it did not come up with a message.
   Thanks for your help.
