Hi and welcome,
Could you provide more details of your system, please? Windows (7/8.1/10)/Mac(os 10.13/14)? Make sure your system is up-to-date. If you are on Windows, make sure the Microsoft Redistributable is installed. Graphics card?
Did you unzip the file before you installed, or did you install directly from the ZIP? Unzipping is recommended. Did you install as administrator?
