This maybe a “feature” of your windows or browser setup trying to protect you from running a simple file from the internet. There are security settings that will only allow to run applications from certain folders or only those that are whitelisted. Check your windows security settings.
You could try:
- to use the command line to start the application to see more
- copy or move it into a different folder
So, thank u for the replies. It turns out, i think im an idiot. While my main os is windows, i believe my tails flash is linux… is that possible? That would explain why my download for windows is not launching in tails… itd need to be the linux dl instead at that point. (Friend flashed me tails, so i wasnt privy to that end of it)
Yes, tails is a Linux distribution. And gpg is already installed.
