TWR Trainer Setup - This App Can't Run On This PC

I'm trying to install TWR Trainer and when I run the installer I get a purple box that says "This app can't run on this PC"

*I run it as admin

*I have tried setting it to compatibility mode for Win 8, Win 7, and Vista

*I have completely uninstalled my antivirus

*I've tried a "clean boot" by turning off all non-MS services and disabling all start up items

*I've tried installing the v86 runtime file that's on twrtrainer.rosscarlson.dev/dl.php

NOTE:  When I download the twrtrainersetup.exe it's 0 bytes

My specs:

Windows 11 (latest version, updates, etc)

Intel I7 12700KF

32 GB DDR4

Nvidia RTX 3070

I have 3 SSDs for 4TB storage total

Any help would be appreciated.  I have a student I need to get on Sweatbox this week.

Someone sent me an "unzipped" copy of Twr Trainer and that worked fine.  No idea why the installer doesn't want to run though?

That's why it didn't work. The file was empty, so your download had failed.
