weird .exe problem

whenever i try to run this certain .exe file, it will not open.
It shows under "processes" in task manager, and it says it's using up memory/cpu, although i see nothing.

it worked on my old computer (win xp?)

when i try to re-open, it says :

Error opening file for writing:
.../Local/Temp/xx.dll

click abort to stop the installation, retry to try again or ignore to skip this file.

any ideas?

[quote=angramainyu]Not all executables feature windows, and the program in question is likely working in the background. My suggestion would be to kill the task, delete the temp file and run the .exe again. If necessary, run the program in compatibility mode.[/quote]

didn't work.

w.e i deleted file, didnt need anyways.
