Since the release of Windows 10 many old setup.exe files have appeared to fail to run. This issue has continued into Windows 11 and is related to how the Microsoft operating system “wait chain” schedules things.

The program actually does run, which is why you can see it in the task manager, but it can’t continue until you quit whatever is blocking it.

1. Open Task Manager.
2. Find the setup in the list, right click, go to details/process.
3. Right click on the details/processes tab, select Analyze wait chain.
4. Quit whatever program it is showing to be blocking your setup.exe installer.

The video below shows this entire process.
