Once the program is extracted, there are 4 '.bat' files to run the program. Those bat files change the max ram memory avaliable for the program.
Chose to start the programing using:

DDM_X64_2GB_RAM_Windows.bat -> for 2gb ram.
DDM_X64_4GB_RAM_Windows.bat -> for 4gb ram.
DDM_X64_6GB_RAM_Windows.bat -> for 6gb ram.
DDM_X64_8GB_RAM_Windows.bat -> for 8gb ram.
