gPhotoShow is a screen saver, so after installing it you will not find any exe file. The executable is the file gPhotoShow.scr and is located in your windows/system folder or in winnt/system32 if you have Windows NT.
gPhotoShow shows the images stored in a folder so the first step is to copy all your images and sounds in a folder, then you can configure gPhotoShow to use that folders.
