OH! I re-read your post and I think I know what's happening.

You have "hide file extensions" and "hide protected operating system files" turned on. Those are among the first things I disable when installing Windows, so I often forget that some people leave them as default.

As long as you fully extract the contents of the emplode 2.0 zip installer, and point Windows at that extracted folder, you should be OK. If you are dragging files out of the zip onesie-twosie, that's your problem.
