Not working

[Gerald]

So a while back I had to "uninstall" PPSSPP because it would crash after saving and saves stating. I re-downloaded it again and went to drag it on to the desktop when it and would get this error.

Is there something in particular I gotta do? Or am I just stuffed?

LOL, do you actually try to run exe file from inside the archive? And what's even worse looking at it being in windows temp folder, instead of downloading the archive to your hdd, you used some bad web browser(IE?) and choose to run the file? O.O

Never do that, it's silly^_^. PPSSPP doesn't even have an "install"(at least not yet for windows), you simply have to download the file, extract it somewhere, and then you should be able to run it from .exe without any problems. ~ That's assuming you did saw the "VC 2013 runtime (required!)" on the download page and have it installed.

Oh well, try using extract option instead of dragging it out from the archive, when you drag something from inside of the archive it first has to extract it to temporary directory and then copies the files to where you dragged them.
Winrar apparently fails to do it properly for some reason here. I didn't really used it from ages now so I'm not really sure what's his issue. You can always try 7zip, or just try redownloading ppsspp, we might have XXI century, but files still can get corrupted when downloading, maybe that's your problem.

Download and install that. x86 if you use 32 bit version or x64 for 64 bit version.

Alright thanks that worked. Your help is/was(?) greatly appreciated.
