Gmail drive not working

Hello everyone.
I installed Gmail Drive but its not showing up in Windows explorer anywhere. Tried it using compatibility mode, still no luck. When i double click the setup file, its stuck on this screen. See the screenshot below;

have you tried the firefox extension gspace? https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1593

among other things, will allow you to view files uploaded to gmail drive (useful if you already have files on it)

I did say that in my comment already

it is gspace, some sort of gmail drive alternative that still offers the nice feature of viewing gmail drive, while still allowing to upload to gspace, I thought I made that clear, it's the same as let's say microsoft word can open wordperfect documents but can't create them.

Thought you just wanted access to uploaded files + a way to upload more files to gmail, but seems like you really require it to be gmail drive
