Yeah, when you selected Open With Extractor it must have only extracted
the exe file, and not the DLLs and other tools (7Zip, dd, syslinux).

This happens to a lot of people, and I'm not sure of any way to avoid
it.  Sadly, we have to ship the M$ C & C++ runtimes to ensure that the
tool runs on a freshly installed box.  The problem with Sebastian's
build was that he did not manually add the C++ runtime DLL :(
I've made a note of this in the liveusb-creator Developers Guide, and
also a note on the front page about having to extract the entire zip
before running.

Cheers,
