Are you certain you really are following the instructions? Did you
really do that unzip? or did you let Windows Explorer display the
contents of that zip file and then double click on its picture of
install.bat? (the latter won't work and pretty much does what you
describe next--which is nothing.)

If you confirm all that is as it should be, then the next issue could be
a security issue. When I do the above on Win10--starting with the zip
file download from github and doing the unzip as described--Win10
complains about running the install.bat with a "Windows protected your
computer" and a "Run anyway" button.

I vaguely recall it is possible to tell Windows 10 to unconditionally
reject what it thinks are malicious applications without putting up this
box, but I cannot remember any details.
