How to properly install on windows?

So I just tried to install v 1.1.7 by downloading the complete download and extracting to my computer. When I run it I get a map loader error. I've noticed that sometimes the lib and res directories are missing from the package and I have to copy these over from a previous install. This is true for 1.1.7, but not for 1.1.6. If I copy over those directories from 1.1.6 to 1.1.7 then 1.1.7 runs.

Is this how it is supposed to be? I need both installs and need to manually copy stuff from an old install to get the new one working?

thanks

For Windows I downloaded one of the archives from here.

The archives I got from there contain the folders you mentioned.

Perhaps your archives are damaged? They should be ~ 14.7 MB
Perhaps you are running some antivirus program that is in your way?

Interesting. If I use windows to extract the zip file, those diretories are not extracted.

7-zip work fine.

glad to now know how to get it to work.

Depends what application you are using to extract the ZIP, and what default settings are in that application. WinRar will create a directory tree and extract libraries from a ZIP file.
