DPP4 extractor fails to expand files

I just downloaded the dppw4.18.10-installer and extracted the file with the default Microsoft windows extractor.  When I click on the extracted installer, I get the message "Failed to expand the Files".  I tried to download earlier versions of Digital Photo Professional 4 from the Canon USA software page but keep getting the same result.

My C drive is getting short on space so I began the process of trying to uninstall certain programs from C drive and reinstalling on D drive.  Currently I have an older Canon MG6620 and a now two year old Canon PRO-200.  I tried to go ahead and reinstall the 6620 on D drive but was not given a choice as to the path of installation and had no choice but to reinstall back on C drive, which I did with no problem.  Afterwards, I tried again to run the dppw4 software and it installed normally, but again I had no choice but drive C.  Am I missing something or does the printer software have to be installed on the same drive as the operating system?  The compter I have is a 2016 Alieanware area 51 With a solid state C drive and a 2TB D drive.  I know it's becomming a bit dated but is still fast enough to run Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 with no problems (my other pastime in addition to my photography hobby).  I have plenty of storage space on D but every time i get a windows update, it seems my C drive shrinks!

Hi MB1971,

We're glad to hear you were able to install Digital Photo Professional 4 on your computer. That program does need to be installed on the main drive for your computer, since that is typically the C drive it makes sense that is where it installed on your computer.
