Last version of Mist I used was 0.8.1 - once unpacked, the directory had everything needed to run both Mist and geth - both of the executables were there. Now when I downloaded the latest Mist 0.8.3 release, the folder only comes with Ethereum Wallet Setup 0.8.3.exe , and it doesn't behave like a normal installer - it starts the wallet right away without actually doing any setup, before freezing during peer search.

What is the correct way of installing the newest Mist wallet so I can have access to both the wallet and geth?
