What a nightmare. FWIW, I would never move anything I want to keep to a flash drive. Even the best brands seem prone to failure. They're great to copy files from one computer to another, but I don't trust them for long term storage.

I have no idea if Olivier Vinet is still around. His email address in the ReadMe is a Hotmail address.

If you only need the manual, I could email it to you. I assume that would be okay, since it's no good unless you've bought the product.
