Hey,
  I'm trying to download lackey. I clicked on the link above, and I received the zipped file. 
I watched the video, but it didn't help because 1) he was on a Mac & 2) he didn't have the trouble messages that I did.

Here are the messages I received when I clicked on the .exe file in the zipped folder:
"can't start because libcurl.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
"....... SDL2_sound.dll......."
"........SDL2.dll......"
"........SDL2_image.dll......."

I'm not sure where to find those 4 programs unless it is talking about lackey and that was never installed. Is it asking for me to redownload lackey or asking me to do something that I have to do though I have no clue of how or where to start?

I hope to get this up soon, so I can get some practice in before Nats.
Oh, one more thing & possibly related info: a month or so back, my computer upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10.

Instead of simply double-clicking the exe, can you try doing a right click and then select the "Run as administrator" option?

Ah, I believe you tried running it while it was still in the zipped folder. Is this correct? You have to unzip the downloaded file first.

I'll second this, since I had this same issue when I tried earlier this week. I kept getting the SDL2 error until I moved the lackey folder from the 7zip temp file to my downloads.
