  2. Not able to install exe file created in WINDEV application

    Since you mentioned that the application worked in a previous version of Windows, we would like to clarify if you attempted to install the application using compatibility mode as was suggested in the previous post? The reason we need to verify if you have
    completed the steps provided is because compatibility mode allows older programs to work in a more recent version of Windows. Also we need the answers to the following questions below:

    • Were there any newer versions of the application you're attempting to install that is made for windows 10?
    • Which version and build of Windows 10 do you have installed in the computer?

    Regards.

    Faulting application name: bad_module_info when trying to run exe installer

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    In order to help you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the following details:



    • Do you receive any error message when you run the .exe installer?
    • Which version of Windows is installed on the computer currently? To check type:
      winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit Enter.


    As you have mentioned that you have Kaspersky installed on the computer, it could be that Kaspersky is blocking the installers to run. I suggest you to try disabling Kaspersky and see if that helps. Please follow the steps to disable Kaspersky:



    1. Type Kaspersky in the search bar on the
      Taskbar and open it from the search results.
    2. Now, click on Settings.
    3. Click on Additional and then click on
      Self-Defense.
    4. Clear the check box for
      Enable Self-Defense to disable Kaspersky.
    5. If you receive any prompt, click on Continue.

      Note: Disabling Antivirus software may open the computer to threats. Make sure to enable it after performing the troubleshooting.


    You can also check if the application that you are trying to run is Quarantined by Kaspersky. If the application is Quarantined, restore the application and see if that helps. Please follow the steps mentioned below:



    1. Type Kaspersky in the search bar on the
      Taskbar and open it from the search results.
    2. Click on More tools.
    3. In the Tools window, click on
      Quarantine
      .
    4. Look for the .exe installer that you are trying to run. If you find the installer, right click on it and select
      Restore to restore it to its original location.


    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

  4. can't install compressed/unpack .exe applications

    Not able to install exe file created in WINDEV application

    Hi,

    There are different factors that can contribute as to why you are no longer able to install an application that worked in a previous version of Windows. This could be caused by compatibility settings that we need to change or missing update components. For
    us to resolve your concern, kindly answer the questions below:

    • What application are you trying to install in Windows 10?
    • Have you checked if there were any newer releases of the application you are trying to install?
    • Which version and build of Windows 10 do you have installed?

    As a initial recommendation, we suggest that you attempt to install the application using compatibility mode. This will install the program using settings from a previous version of Windows. You can follow the steps that are available through this
