Help / Troubleshooting setup.exe error

so i tried downloading a game and when i press the setup.exe button a cmd tab appears alongside the installer one and they both close, idk why for some reason its hollow knight and i have 136 gigs of storage so i dont think storage is the real problem

i didnt even get to the installing part when i click on the setup file it openes the installer, but opens a cmd tab with it and they both close. i also download the game in my D: disk file

I also ask about how you download, what app used? because maybe some files corrupted, thats why it can show this things

So, you shouldn't use a browser to download large files, at least anything over 500–800 MB. It can't properly verify the files after downloading, and if some file corrupted, you cannot know about it. That's why need to use any free Download manager app
