I've disabled the defender and other software for malware and virus protection and tried moving the executable to desktop and then launching it. I don't have an idea whats wrong with it! Any help is much appreciated.

I was able to solve it on a 2016 Lenovo laptop by disabling antivirus until next reboot and pointing my DNSs to Google Ones.

Hope this helps someone else as well.

    Hey, I'm using windows 7 and was having this same problem. I don't know if this works with your Windows version, but I figured out how to get it to work on 7.

    Try this:

    1. Move the exe on desktop ( I don't know if this has any effect, but that's what I did)
    2. Right click the file and choose properties
    3. Choose compatibility and check the "run in compatibility mode" (my windows is in Finnish so I don't know what that is in english) and choose your windows version from the dropdown menu
    4. Click Apply and OK
    5. Right click the file again and choose "Run as administrator", click ok on the popup

    It should work now.

    Hope this helps you!

    The links work only for 24 hrs from the time you generate it.

    Change the browser user agent to get the latest links for the ISO.
