So. I've downloaded Mathcad trial version, but when I try to open (Both with and iwthout Admin rights) the downloaded setup file it "Stoppes working" after completing that small window. That's pretty much it. No installer interface is ever opened.

Hi,

did you download installer zip file from https://support.ptc.com/appserver/auth/it/esd/academicFree.jsp page?

Did you unzip it into new emapty directory ?

Nope. I got it from here https://www.ptc.com/ru/products/mathcad-express-free-download

It's not zip file, it's .exe file
