Open Aethernal2-Setup.exe. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info and then Run anyway: the installer is not code-signed yet.
The suggested folder works for everyone and needs no administrator rights. Windows only asks for permission if the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 runtime that the game needs is missing.
Start Aethernal2 with the shortcut on your desktop or in the Start menu. The first start downloads the game files (about 3.4 GB); after that the patcher only downloads updates, so you never need to download the client again. Always start the game this way. To remove the game, use Settings > Apps.
