Welcome to the community, sorry you're having issues.
It sounds like you did -not- use Steam to purchase and download the game, is that correct?
By default, Steam would do so automatically.
Otherwise, when you downloaded the game, it saved to your computer as a zip file. Find that file (should be under downloads), and you can extract the file to any location you want (eg C:/games/ is simple). To do this, right-click on the downloaded zip file and select "Extract All" . After this, select where you want it. Once it's extracted it's just a matter of clicking on the exe file to launch and you're done!
Please let us know how you make out.
