downloaded file, a message box appear and say that there's been na problem
at the startup and that there is a new log file. By the way, I'm not
connected to internet.

The error log that is provided when I click on

This has been reported in the past, and it was a case of unzipping using
WinZip and not selecting "User folder names". This caused it to unzip
into a flat directory, and as a result Main couldn't find the plugins
directory (because there were no directories). Make sure you extract
from the zip preserving folder names. We are aware the error message is
not good in this case, and we have a bug report for improving it.
