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?

.exe
file, nothing happens.", but then you added (in a comment) "I forgot to mention that whenever I try opening my exe file it gives a security warning dialog." (You forgot? … maybe it relates?) Do you click on the "Run" button? Does the "Security Warning" window disappear? Do you see any hint that the program is starting and crashing (e.g., do you see a flicker of an application window or a task bar button)? Also, have you tried downloading it again (in case your copy is corrupted)?
