Answer that worked here.

They recommend checking the installer file name. It needs to be the original name oddly enough for the setup to work.

Disabling the Program Compatibility Assistant is not the right way.

A solution that works on Windows 10 is:

  • Right-click the setup file
  • Select Properties and navigate to the Details tab.
  • There should be an entry labeled Original filename. Simply rename the file accordingly and it should run.
