I clicked on download status meter and created a zip file, how do I get it on my computer
Toss the .zip file and start over.
The Status Meter download is available in versions for Windows and OS X
It is in the form of an executable ... the file type is .EXE, not .ZIP
Download the version for your OS to your desktop, After the download completes click on the icon for the executable to begin the installation process.
Running 7 here also and the extraction (if any) was totally seamless
A "save as" to a designated folder contained only the .exe file as expected.
Danged Dog is right though .......
