Windows 10: how do I start the Setup.exe ?

I am trying to start an accounting system, Windows has just updated theversion to the last one. And the accounting system Mamut ask med to start the setup.exe?

:)

 

Some (not all) setup EXE files do not execute.

Many recent EXE application set up files will not run. This presumably started a few days ago, but I then thought it was confined to just one setup EXE (Ultimaker_Cura-4.10.0-amd64.exe). This morning I discovered it's many (but NOT all) of them. The inactive ones seem to be the most recent (4-6 weeks). And if there's an MSI alternative, that does not run either.

As far as I can tell all program EXEs do open correctly. It's just the setup EXEs that have this weird problem.

Examples of setup files that do NOT run:
Everything-1.4.1.1009.x64-Setup.exe
OfficeSetup.exe
iview458_setup.exe
Google_Chrome_(32bit)_v91.0.4472.101.exe
Ultimaker_Cura-4.9.1-amd64.exe

Examples of setup files that DO run:
VLC_Media_Player_(64bit)_v3.0.14.exe
Skype_v8.72.0.94.exe
NotePad_(64bit)_v7.9.5.exe
MediaMonkey_v5.0.0.2338.exe
Everything_(64bit)_v1.4.1.1003.exe
FastStone_Capture_v9.5.exe

Tried many things, including the familiar sfc /scannow, DISM ScanHealth, and various suggestions such as all those here:
Fix: .Exe files not opening in Windows 10

As many do run that was, of course, desperation flying in the face of logic, and none have fixed it.

I'm now pondering the fact that the failures appear to be mainly the more recent files downloaded. Could it be down to a recent Win 10 update I wonder?

This is Win 10 Pro Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.1110).

I finally found the cause of the setup EXEs failing.
Tried downloading with Chrome instead of Waterfox. Got a 'Blocked' message. That was the clue to go hunting in the Win 10 Internet security settings. Enabled an obscure option (that perhaps had somehow become disabled) and after download they now execute.

 

Impossible to starts some exe files!

hello everyone,

I need help as I have tried all of what i have found in this and other forums, whitout any success.
Since a week icant start some exe files and i dont know why only some!
i have appleied what was described in Restore Default File Type Associations in Windows 10 Windows 10 Customization Tutorials ,
but no better results.
I have scanned my laptop for virus or malwares, and its clean.
for example i want start Acronis, then win10 say cant find the file even so i try to start it directly from the exe file!
same if i want to start ACDSee and some others applications.

For others files its perfectly ok, like AVG PCtune; Malwarebytes, Microsoft Office and so many others.

I have also tried to install again the sotware which doesnt start but it is the same.

Some people suggested that possibly a dll have been modified, but how to find out?
I hope someone will be able to help me as my next step would be to fully reinstall windows and all applications.

Thanks a lot for your help

Regards

 

Setup exe

You are trying to open a .bin file which is not a setup file.

Look for .exe aka application file. Usually named Setup.exe

.bin files are the files needed by the application, you cannot open them directly.
