When I download simulatedsimian/tracetcp from github (https://github.com/simulatedsimian/tracetcp/releases) I do not find a tracetcp.exe in the extracted .zip download. So I assume I am missing compilation steps to transform source code into binary executable. Your instructions leave out this crucial step.
