I use qb64 version 1.5.
1. First, install the 7zip utility. It's free.
https://www.7-zip.org/
2. Find or create a convenient folder for your programs.
3. Download the zipped file with the latest version pf QB65 PE(7zip).
4. Right click on the downloaded zipped file and instruct 7zip to extract the content into whatever folder you had elected to use in step 2.
The nice thing about QB64pe is that it installs without making any changes to the Windows Registry. When you extract the 7z file content, it will create a qb64pe subfolder in whatever folder you decided to use for this. You can then launch QB64 pe by going into that new qb64pe subfolder and clicking on the qb64pe.exe executable. (And of course, good idea to create a shortcut to that .exe file, say in your start menu.)
