    Hi @Roger Guess III ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
    You can now follow the instructions to try to re-download the file. If that doesn't work, you try modifying the registry.

    Best regards,
    Seeya

    Try re-downloading. I tried the download a few hours earlier and the executable started as it should. There was an issue with the downloads over the weekend.
