(IT IS EXTRACTED AND I DID EVERYTHING PROPERLY,  ALL DRIVERS ARE UPDATED, SIGNIFCANT POWER SUPPLY, NO RAM ERRORS)

Hi! I am very hesitant to post this in fears I will get banned from this forum for no reason. But anyways, I used to play Doki Doki a lot on my old laptop, and now I want to replay it on my gaming PC. But every time I try to launch the .exe, I get an error that asks me if it's missing. I've tried deleting the folder and reinstalling and extracting again, about 10 times at this point. I extracted it to a different location this last time, it gave me the error code again, but I could barely read it before it disappeared. I just went back to the file explorer tab, and the .exe has mysteriously disappeared completely. I'm not amused at this point, this computer crushes every hope and dream I've ever had.

I have tried installing on Steam, to which I was unable to because it went into a loop of  pausing the download at the very end. I have already tried restarting the computer, and cleaned the inside and all hardware. I am completely lost at this point, none of my friends will take me seriously, so if you have any idea what's going on please tell me.

Wow, I just love this forum. Very mature audience that is very helpful and quick to respond to posts. They're also very friendly and liked my post so more people could see it and help me.

OKAY BUT SERIOUSLY, A NICE LITTLE COMMENT FROM A MOD OF SOMEONE TELLING ME SOMEWHERE WHERE SOMEONE COULD BETTER HELP ME WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL. I AM IGNORED ON EVERY ONLINE FORUM EVER! I AM NOT LYING. THIS COMPUTR SEES MY DETERMINATION AND DESTROYS THAT EXE EVERY TIME I INSTALL. TRIED INSTALLING AGAIN TODAY , AND GUESS WHAT, THE EXE WAS NEVER IN THE ZIP FILE TO START WITH. I EXTRACT EVERYTHING PROPERLY AND I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. 

THIS IS A DESPRATE CRY FOR HELP. IT'S BEEN 60 DAYS AND YOU SMARTASSES HAVEN'T EVEN LIKED MY POST. I HATE THE INTERNET UGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Thanks for your feedback. I agree with you that this forum needs some serious improvements.

Which unzipping software are you using? I had the same problem but I used a different unzipping software and it worked. 

(Thanks so much for replying!) I was using WinZip, but I think the install was corrupted. I bought another game on steam then tried installing DDLC from there again and it actually worked! I guess Steam was mad at me for not buying anything XD

if you use  win 10 maybe turn off windows defender or antivirus might help
