Nope, I didn't receive any error message while opening the exe. file. When I open the file, it shows the loading icon and nothing happens. That's what I saw everytime I tried to install the app. This situation only occur on one exe. file. The app I wanted to download is DrJava. I tried to reinstall other apps and everything is fine, only installing the DrJava app brings the issue.

  Also, make sure you have installed Java Runtime Environment with 1.5 or above.

  Try to right-click the executable file and change the compatibility to Windows 7 to see whether you can run this program.
