Prepare folder and file
6. Create a game folder in your download folder (e.g. “UltimateDoom”)

8. Place the downloaded exe file in the gamefolder (e.g. “setup_the_ultimate_doom_1.9_(28044).exe”)
9. Delete the last part of the setup file name so you don’t have paranthesis (e.g. “setup_the_ultimate_doom_1.9.exe”)
