I'm sorry to hear that. This appears to be a problem with the FreeExtractor
tool used
to create the .exe file. Do you mind trying this on your machine to help debug
the
issue?
1. At the Start Menu, click "Run..."
2. At the "Open:" prompt, type type "cmd" and then press <Enter>.
2. At the DOS prompt type:
echo %TEMP%
echo %TMP%
cd %TEMP%
If you could cut and paste the output into this ticket, it would be very
helpful to us.
In the mean-time, you can use the plain .zip file version of version of
namebench.
You will need to extract it to a directory and then double-click on
namebench.exe to
get started:

Thanks for the report!

It looks like your TEMP variable is set incorrectly. The ;c:\ruby\bin part is
meant for
the PATH variable, not TEMP. You can follow the following instructions on how
to edit
it here:

In a normal setup, your TEMP variable should be identical to your TMP variable.
I
hope this helps, thanks for the feedback!
