The forum, discords, or reddit are good places to go for help - more people read them so you're more likely to get help. There is also the wiki which has install instructions: https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Installation#Windows [^] . Bug trackers should only be used when you're sure the problem is not user error. And yeah, most software will not run properly from inside an archive.
