Development Getting Started & Setup

My computer cannot open msi files so I converted it to exe using a software. Now when I open the exe file, it closes after one loading.

Hi Paramdeep,

What operating system are you using? If you are using Windows 7/8 and you aren’t able to open .msi files, I suggest contacting Microsoft support.

Yes I’m using Windows 7. I should try that in someone else’s computer.

Not necessarily. You should be able to run a .msi by default with Windows 7.

Take a look at this thread from Microsoft.

If that doesn’t work, could you post your Dxdiag? It well let me see if you are missing any updates.

  • Windows: Go to the Start menu and type ‘dxdiag’ into the search bar. Open that file and then click ‘Save All Information’. Post that text file here.
