Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately, I don't have a way to unzip files right now (my WinZip trial ended and I can't afford the license for now), so I can't install FLStat (which is also why I haven't been able to install FL Companion) unless someone knows of a free program I can use instead of WinZip.
There's WinRar too, my personal fav cus im old now....no one has ever paid for winrar lmao. It does ask u to buy it when the trial is over, but u just click past it. It does absolutely zero to reduce what the program does. If i recall correctly, I used winzip a bit in the 90s before i discovered winrar, but i think it was very similar. you could just click continue trying or something to that extent and go on about your business.
