Installing Free Basic on Windows 10

Hello.
Welcome to the forum.
At first, see viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14903
You can also read the 'readme.txt' file (in the root directory of the downloaded file) which has been most recently updated.

Another approach is, to get Installation Instructions from the FB-Documentation (online).
Also, check on: FreeBASIC Requirements ... (OS dependent prerequisites).

I also was unable to get the FreeBasic installer to run on my desktop also, even in Administrator mode. I would only see the installer flash briefly. I finally circumvented it by downloading Paul Squires' WinFBE on Github which installed the IDE as well as the FreeBasic compilers with no fuss. I had to configure the paths for the 32 and 64-bit compilers in WinFBE, but have successfully compiled and run several of the example files.
