you say to just download MS.NET and the github .zip file, and then just press "RemnantSaveGuardian.exe", but there isn't any .exe files?

You need to extract it from the .zip archive along with the rest of the the application

Make sure you're downloading a release (https://github.com/Razzmatazzz/RemnantSaveGuardian/releases) and not just the source code.

That link's file has the .exe. But how do u get to that page so i can find the proper download location for other files in the future? The few times ive used github was for game design for university class group work, and ive always just used the download zip under the code drop down.

You need to click on the link above. This will get your browser to open the downloads page. Most browsers also have a bookmark functionality, so that's another option. And of course it is also linked from the releases section of the repo itself.

What you describe is for downloading the source code, which makes sense for coursework. Because compiling source code is beyond the ability and/or proclivity of most who use the tool, pre-compiled binaries are provided in the Releases section, which is linked on the right hand side of the repo home page.

Thank you for the reply, I see it, now I know for the future.
