I have a problem with loading an installer in Windows Vista

Symptoms

 After downloading the installer and extracting the files, I double click on the installer and nothing happens. 

Cause

 In windows Vista, smart screen had not been implemented by Microsoft. In windows 7 and 8, smart screen will ask you if you would like to run the installer. 

Resolution

 If experiencing this problem, simply right click the installer, go to Poperties.

There, you will need to click on the Unblock button, then click Apply.

You will then be able to run the installer normally.
