You probably want to run it from a command-line, so you can give it information about what it needs to search for.

I just click on the exe :/
Is there somthing I need to do to fix this?

[Pieter Wuille]

It is not a GUI tool, running the exe will start it without arguments, so it will just show its help text and exit immediately.

What you want to do is start a command-line (start -> execute -> "cmd" or something in windows), go to the directory the program is in (using cd [dirname]), and then type "vanitygen", and see what it tells you about what arguments it accepts.
