Isn't that normal...? ....I think you need to open that folder and find the .exe(or whatever file it is that launches the game.) which usually looks like the renpy logo if it wasn't customized and is also the same name as the game itself....

If that isn't it then please ignore this....

When I tried clicking on the .exe thing, there was an error that said
The specified module could not be found.

Usually, you'd click the highlighted icon in the screenshot.
Sorry, the image isn't very clear...

Do you need to compress files though?

Huh? You do need to unzip the files if they're still in zipped/compressed.

Then you're probably opening the .exe file directly from the archive, without extracting all the other files.

Extract the files using WinRAR to some directory (make a new one), and then try running the .exe.

And I think my KN will be released with nullsoft's installer so that no hassle is involved.
