Older versions of the single-file/self-extracting executable install exe's must be run/installed from the system where they will be installed. If run from a network (or USB drive, or other media), the setup portion will not successfully extract the software files from the compressed package embedded in the EXE. The Setup portion will appear to run successfully (and probably rather fast), but the software will not be installed. You must copy the EXE to the desktop or documents or download location, and launch it from the system that you are installing the software on. Also note this may occur if there is not enough disk space, or possibly other system issues, so also verify your system. If downloaded, you may wish to verify the size/MD5 of the file to ensure the EXE is not corrupted.
