Also have a look at the install .exe's Properties, if Windows has Blocked the file from execution, there will a button to Unblock it. And there's feature called Smartscreen that can get in one's way, which I got rid of on the day I installed Win 10. MS has been infected with the same nanny state mentality as the other lot.
Is the nanny state mentality the obverse of the culture of blame?

Yes, I actually used their website to download the file,
I also don't prefer cnet or whatever smellier sites to download any program.
