Are you sure you extracted it correctly? The 3 files and custom map folder should be in a folder, not the zip.
If that's not it, could you try running it from command prompt, and see if it outputs any errors when it crashes? Ignore the 3 red extension errors, and 1 yellow icon warning, they're known and shouldn't ever cause it to crash. But any extra ones could explain the cause.
