Windows makes installing a simple app into a series of 'yes I'm sure' steps. Here's each little detail for anyone who's unsure:
Note: If running Windows 10 you might need to enable installing apps from outside the app store: Open Settings and go to Apps. Under App & Features the first setting is called Installing apps. If this is set to "Allow apps from the Store only" then set it either "Warn me..." or "Allow apps from anywhere", depending on your level of trust. Warn is the safest.
- Download the Larkator setup.exe. Click Run/Open once the download is completed.
- Windows and/or your browser might chime in and tell you that you are opening an untrusted app. If you want to continue you might have to click "More info" to reveal the button to allow the installer to run.
- The installer's "Application Install - Security Warning" window pops up, telling you once again that the app is unsigned. Choose Install if you wish to continue.
- At this point Windows 10 chimes in once again and requires you to click "More info" then "Run anyway" if you wish to actually install.
- Larkator is now installed and pops up its Welcome window.
- In the Larkator Welcome window, follow on-screen step 1) and locate ark-tools.exe.
- Follow on-screen step 2) and locate your saved ARK e.g.
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArksLocal\TheIsland.ark
- Click "Let's Go" and you're in.
- Larkator will auto-update, but only after it is restarted (and with an option to skip).
