Nothing happens when I try to open the file.

I am getting no error message.

I did not make any changes

I did not Microsoft Office in the system

I have the same problem when I extract the file and try to open it I get a corrupted file

• Open Command Prompt (run as admin) type  cd\windows
• Press "Windows key + R" on your keyboard type regedit
• locate HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.exe in the right side pane change the value of Default key to exefile
• On the registry editor go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command
• in the right side pane change the value of Default key to "%1" %*
• then restart your computer

I did up to point 3. But then I don't have HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile, so I can't move on... Could you please help me with this issue?

Thanks so much!
