I have an executable file that runs to an extent in windows 7 (albeit with an error message), but in windows 10 it doesn't get that far, it says "This program has been damaged, possibly by a bad sector of the hard drive or a virus. Please reinstall it"
Here is the file (SHA1: 594166bb3c5302e20808605b53b53c1cd5e26430). I had to rename it to .txt to upload it but you can rename it to .exe
.
I checked it in VirusTotal and it came up as not having any virus/malware.
On Windows 7 it says "extract error", that's fine..
But the strange thing is on Windows 10, I get this error:
This program has been damaged, possibly by a bad sector of the hard drive or a virus. Please reinstall it
What is it about Windows 10 that means it doesn't even attempt to execute the file, and is there any way to get Windows 10 to execute it as Windows 7 does?
