Scratch Editor installer won't run

Recently I had downloaded Scratch Editor 2.0 offline editor, but I couldn't install it. When I click on the .exe file a security dialog box opens and when i click on the run button, the window just goes away and nothing happens. I tried searching on Google to make the file run somehow, but most of the answers are based on Windows 7 and XP, or the solutions don't work. I even downloaded the file for the second time but still it didn't worked.

Is there any registry editing (for Windows 8.1) that would work? I don't know much how to work with registry but would not hesitate to get my problem solved by it.

or any other solution?

Adobe Air Install log file

There is a good chance that this may work for you (if not, I will delete the answer):

Use unzip software like 7-zip. Open the downloaded .exe file using 7-zip and extract the content of the archive to some newly created empty folder e.g. C:\Scratch2.

See that there is a Scratch 2.exe file in the extracted folder. If you have Adobe AIR installed correctly, you can directly run this EXE file and create shortcut manually. You can also try to run setup.msi that would eventually install Scratch for you.

If you receive error "Cannot open Scratch-441.1.exe file" using 7-zip it means only one thing: your downloaded file is corrupted, download anew using some other downloader or PC etc.
