Well, it turns out it's not as simple as that: As an additional step, 
you have to tell Windows that the file is safe to use despite having 
been downloaded from the web.

In Windows Explorer, right-click the file, open the "Properties" dialog, 
and at the bottom of the "General" tab click on the "Unlock" button or 
checkbox ("Zulassen" in the German version).
