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!

I updated the TEMP variable, and I am now able to run .exe file w/o any issues. 
Thanks 
for you help.
