Post: solve the "failed to open EXE" problem when installing an English Software

I also encountered this problem.

Later, I installed the software in the English system and it was okay.

Download an English software package online, click to installProgramError prompt"Failed to open exe", But when I look at a forum outside China, no one has encountered problems that cannot be run. After multiple attempts, the software cannot run. Depressing

Think of a solution that once met that foreign software cannot run, that is, inControl PanelOfRegion/LanguageSet all of them to English-related languages and regions (English, U.S.), restart the operating system, and the program runs properly.

Copy the previous method, set the language and region to (English, United States) to restart, run the installation program again, and the installation is successful.

After analyzing the abnormal programs, we found that the two software are both made in the M $ VB series language (VB and VB.net respectively ), the preliminary conjecture is caused by the VB language. Some functions are executed differently in different systems.
Find more information and find that functions such as ASC, ASCB, and ASCW in VB behave differently in different system environments (non-unicode encoding ).

Experience gained from this: Do not use VB to write programs in the future. If you want to use VB, avoid using functions that will be affected by the operating system platform by using ASC.
