Nice info, except you forgot a few things. So I will just post here to compliment your instructions.

You must do this on the same day of the giveaway because the setup program verifies this.

I usually open the temp folder, select all files and choose delete. Confirm the deletion and skip any files that will not delete. After that you will likely only have about 4 files in the temp folder prior to starting the installation of the GiveawayOftheDay program.

Once you open the "setup" file from the download, and GOTD verifies the eligibility of the install, one or more new files & folders will show up in the temp folder. The temp file you need will start with "we", so look for a file named weXXXXX.tmp

At this point you can copy the weXXXXX.tmp file to another folder. I use the same folder where I unzipped the archive, because you will still need the text file that came with the setup program.

Cancel the installation you started & close the browser page that will open at GOTD.

Go to the folder where you copied the weXXXXX.tmp file.
1 - Remove the hidden attributes from the file.
Right click the file and select "properties". Remove the check from the box in front of "Hidden" at the bottom of the Propertied window. Click "OK".

2 - Rename the file to make it an executable file.
Right click the weXXXXX.tmp file and select ""Rename". Change the .tmp in the file name to .exe. You can also rename the weXXXXX if you wish.

You can now delete the original setup file from the folder. You now have a new installation file, and the text file with any needed registration information for the program.

You are no longer restricted to installing the program on the day of the giveaway and you can install the program on any system you wish.
