Download and unzip the signature file (pav.zip). Copy and paste this signature file (pav.sig) in to pav installed directory (normally C:\\ pav). Click on Pavcl GUI to launch the application.

From the configuration window you can select all the options which are available through command-line switches. Also you can define where to write the report to.
