Sorry if I'm being dense, but I don't see the installer in the zip  
file, so how would I install?  I tried just unpacking, but get errors  
(either unable to start correctly, or shut down in a nonstandard way)  
whether I click on any of the exe files or use a shortcut.  Tried as  
both admin and regular user.

Also, is speedfan or mbm actually required, or just required to get  
specific readings?

Thanks.
