    Hi Derek,

    Thank you for keeping us updated on this issue.

    • Are you facing the same issue with a specified .exe file or all types of .exe files?
    • Is this the same file you used to face issue with in Windows 8.1?

    If you are facing the same issue with all files, please follow the steps below and check:

    1. Press Windows key+ R to open Run command.
    2. Type services.msc and press Enter.
    3. Search for Windows Installer and if it is stopped, right click on it and click on Start.

    Please post us with the results and information to help you better.

    Thank you. 

    I can't open it. We are on a domain ad i'm not the administrator.
