The program comes in two packages, select the stand alone package if you have the VB automation files. If you are unsure then you'll have to download the complete compiled package with the installer:

Standalone Package (129 Kb)
Contains the application and storage files.

2. Complete Installer Package (2.66 Mb)
Contains all the files needed for the application and an installer.
Edit: Due to an unknown error, the installer will not install the Data folder in the application's root folder. You will have to manually add the folder by downloading the Data Folder ZIP and extract it to the root folder where the EXE is. Sorry, I will try to fix this asap. If you do not do this, you will end up running a loop which will eat up your system resources real quick when you run the executable from the start menu.

So if you installed surfer in:
C:/Program Files/project1/
then you should place the DATA folder along with the REG text file there. It should be like this:
C:/Program Files/project1/DATA/

Again my apologies, hope this doesn't turn members from downloading surfer.

3. Required Data Folder for Installer Only (1 Kb)
