Some antivirus software is most likely behaving badly, if you check Task Manager, you will probably see it with high CPU usage or something like that.

The most common is actually that it's Windows' own stuff that screws up, and doesn't show anything, but prevents the file from running anyways :)

damn windows 10 trying yo keep people safe. lol checking

Hehe yeah...

It freaks out because it's a brand new file, and Microsoft hasn't certified the file (probably costs money, and takes time to get that done..) :)

Am having same issue the installer will not launch. Have tried 9.17.1.0 ,.1.and .4 adn all i get is file explorer locking up. Made sure and turned off all anti malware adn anti virus and smart screen and it is still doing it. Am running an AMD [email protected] ,16gb ram ,gtx 1070 ,win 10 prox64 insider build 161202-1928. Have had no issues till now. 

Any other ideas aside from the antivirus and smart screen thing?

Right click your mod pack and go to 'properties', down at bottom hit the 'unblock' button and hit apply.

Go to compatibility tab and check - 'run as administrator'

I do this religiously with every mod pack update. My AV does a 15 second scan on launch and it works every time. (windows 10 also)

 

Hate smart screen! I turned mine off :P
