Problems installing JP

Hey, guys.

I downloaded JP the game, then when it finished, i clicked on the setup then it takes me into WinZip and there's a couple of files including "JurassicPark100_setup.exe" I clicked on that because I assumed that's how you install it. I installed it, then when I try to play the game, it says "error: could not load game data. Make sure you are running the application from the directory it was installed too"

I'm sure this is an error on my end, but some help would be great if anyone knows what went wrong.

Thanks!

    have you unpacked the game to your HD as you cant install a game from a zip file it needs a physical file to install from

    after opening the Zipfile using winzip or whatever package you use, you then need to unpack it to your HD normally a little arrow button that says unpack save it to your desired location on your HD and then click the install button once the game has unpacked fully
