[Solved] Unable to install 2.2.6 Win32 cross compiler

[fade2gray]

Windows 11 22H2
lazarus-2.2.6-fpc-3.2.2-win64.exe
lazarus-2.2.6-fpc-3.2.2-cross-i386-win32-win64.exe

Hi, no issues installing lazarus-2.2.6-fpc-3.2.2-win64.exe, but lazarus-2.2.6-fpc-3.2.2-cross-i386-win32-win64.exe refuses to install - right click > run and run as administrator do nothing.
I've never had previous issues installing earlier versions of Lazarus.

Any advice, please?

Try these suggestions:
- move file somewhere outside Downloads directory and try then
- check antivirus if there are messages regarding this file
- check event log around time you try to start installation to see if there are related messages
- try to download file again

I tried running both Lazarus installation and cross compiler installation and they look different on my Windows 11 (I attached screenshots of the first window that shows).
They are different (which suggests that Windows treats them differently).
Also, window that first shows in your Lazarus installation is different than that when starting one in my computer, so that suggests that something is different in my User-Account Control settings from your setting.

Check SmartScreen settings: go to Windows Settings, then "Privacy & Security", "Windows Security", "Open Windows Security".
Go to "App & browser control" on the left side, and below "Reputation-based protection", open "Reputation-based protection settings" and check settings there.

IIRC: Click on the "More info" link => then you get the option to "run anyway"

He doesn't get to this window. In post above I took a screenshot how it looks on my computer.

Ok, but his Window has a "Show more details" link => try that.

No, this is Lazarus installation (he probably just run it to show that Lazarus' installation starts).
After that, when he try to install crosscompiler then Windows just show that circle for a second, and nothing after that.

The first thing I checked was notifications, event viewer and protection history - nothing. Tried again, and with a process of elimination discovered that 'Check apps and files' was the culprit, but shouldn't Windows have thrown an alert?

Thank you all for your help.
