    Hi,

    For us to provide the best resolution possible, we need additional information:

    • What is the name of the app that you've downloaded?
    • Where did you download the app?
    • Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?

    We'll keep an eye out for your response.

    Cant open some .exe files

    Hi, assuming your shortcut appears to point to an exe file which does exist in the corresponding location, but the shortcut doesn't launch that program, you might like to have a look at the second answer here:
    Windows cannot find '?.exe' - some apps only - Super User

    There are quite a few references on the internet to not being able to find chrome.exe from a shortcut. You can search for
    windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

    e.g.

    Your error message translated in English says "Windows can't find XXXXXXX. Make sure the name was entered correctly and
    try again".

    Is the file deleted, an orphan shortcut left on desktop?
     
  6. Do you have service Distributed Link Tracking Client up and running?

    sc config TrkWks start= auto
    net start TrkWks
