Still need help to open template - gamesalad executable not in folder

Tilu

I just purchased a few templates to try working around with in the Creator tool. My issue is that I can't seem to figure out how to open and edit them in GameSalad. I was able to open the sample platformer and space invader games alright because there was an executable 'GameSalad Creator game project file' amidst the folders for other core aspects of the game templates. I'm guessing that I need to have or otherwise generate this file so that I can open the purchased templates in the Creator tool.

I don't know if I did something wrong in saving and extracting the template folders on my computer before trying to open them in the Creator tool or if there is an issue on the template vendors' end. May I'm not supposed to download as a zip file and then extract, although this worked for the GS official sample templates? Because the problem is with more than one, I'm guessing it is on my end.

I'm hoping someone can offer input on how I can proceed. For reference, I'm using Windows Creator.

@tatiang
Thanks for the video post.
@tatiang and anyone else
I think the main issue is that the file that the GameSalad game project file I need to open (whose format icon features a purple stripe on the top and cartoonish eyeballs near the center), which I'm calling an executable file because I'm not sure what else to call it, isn't in the unzipped project folder. I'm still not really sure how to get this to happen.

The video seems to indicate that so long as the GS version on the computer and used to make the file were the same, there should be this type of file inside the folder. Is this true? If this is the case, then maybe I should ask the vendors to somehow update the files?
