Someone sent me an app to try, but rather than the typical install exe I was expecting it is that other style of exe with the icon that looks like a boombox. When I click it, a commandline window pops up for a moment and disappears. How would I install this app?
 
Was this sent by someone you know? If you want to see what is in the black box that flashes up then try the following. Create a new folder on your C: drive called test

Copy the file into that folder.

Click on Start > Run

Type cmd and press OK

In the command prompt type cd\ then press return.

Then type c:\test\name of file then press return.

It should then go through the same process as before but will display any messages in the window you have open.
