Hi,
Is there a specific folder that these two files need to be extracted to? Iam trying to extract them into C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\ but for both files it says cannot open output file : Access is denied. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Thanks. Brad.

Normally (normal) users don't have write access to system folders like \Program Files\.
Simply extract all content of the FFS installer ZIP-file to a single folder where you have write access, and install from there.

Don't extract to the Program files folder, that it not how you install programs onto a computer. You extract/unzip the compressed folder you download, then run the exe inside the extracted folder. When you unzip it, just set the location to be where the original zip is
