I got mine to work after running into the same problems as a lot of others. Might be a fluke I dunno.
Extracted files. Tried to run .exe. Didn't. Oh well. I took the exe out of the folder and put it on the desktop. Didn't run there either. Put the exe back in at the bottom of the folder under telescope.dll. It now works.
I don't know why it works now. Hopefully this helps someone else.
