Re: double-clicking setup.exe does nothing


 

I believe clicking on Yes in the warning dialog means you accept the Windows conclusion that the installer file is unsafe, and so it doesn't run it. If the warning message gives you a "More info" link, you need to click on that and then in the "more info" dialog tell it to run the program anyway despite the warning. If it doesn't give you such a link, you might try looking at the Properties of the downloaded file for a notification to the effect that the file has been blocked because it might be unsafe, in which case there should be a button to unblock the file after which you should be able to run it.

I¡¯m running Win 10 pro 64-bit. When I click on setup.exe, I get the Windows user account control warning about running an app from an unknown publisher, I say Yes to it, and nothing happens. This happens on another Win 10 Pro 64-bit unit as well.


It is not a zip file either. I right-click it and there is no ¡®extract all¡¯ option. Even if I select ¡®run as administrator¡¯, I get that UAC warning, click on Yes, and nothing happens.

The file I¡¯m using is fldigi_4.2.06_setup.exe from
