"Could not install because exe file does not execute"
Version: Net Express with .NET 5.1
Pros
N/A. Could not install the software.
Cons
The exe file did not execute.
Summary
The exe file did not execute. I got a security warning about 'unknown publisher' but ran it anyway. It did not fail, it appeared to do nothing. I brought up Windows Task Manager and monitored as I kicked off the exe file. It comes up on Task Manager for less than a second then goes away. Two stars instead of one because I did not want to rate it 'terrible'. I've used previous versions of this and found it to be fine.
