Let's get that information first and then we'll look at what's going on with MSHTA.exe. Please press Windows key + X and then select System to get an About box like this: Is your operating system 32 bit or 64 bit? You can send me a screenshot of your About box if you like. Let's first see what OS version you are running. Something unusual is happening on your computer. I tested on Windows 10 32 bit and it worked fine. It should always work on both 32 bit and 64 bit machines. My tool is a script, so the OS runs it using MSHTA.exe and Powershell.exe. That message pops up if you try to run a 64 bit program on a 32 bit system.
