1 – Download the latest version of the program following the link beneath:
2 – Save the ZIP file in a folder, for instance, the Desktop;

11 – Follow again the installer steps as usual. When a small Adobe Air window open, just click cancel.
12 – Finish the install, and open the program. It will run and ask for content, showing a button to browse. Click on it, and find the content. The path can vary considering differente S.O. versions and architectures, but most may be found in the path which follows:
