The screenshot shows the download of the .msix file which is the installation file. Make sure that you downloaded the right version from [https://www.manager.io/download](https://www.manager.io/download)

The one you showed is the 64-bit version. If your system is 32-bit you need to click on the Alternative download link see screenshot below:

If it is the .msix file search the forum for a discussion about it and installation issues and fixes, for example you could find:

Perhaps it’s an optional component that is not installed by default considering you are using specialized Windows build. However MSIX is glorified ZIP format. You can rename MSIX to ZIP and then unpack the contents and launch ManagerDesktop.exe.

What are you needing? 32-bit or 64-bit.  
Until you answer that we can’t help you.

Your problem is with the .msix file The solution is simple, see:

Perhaps it’s an optional component that is not installed by default considering you are using specialized Windows build. However MSIX is glorified ZIP format. You can rename MSIX to ZIP and then unpack the contents and launch ManagerDesktop.exe.

i.e  
download the .msix file, 32 or 64-bit based on your cpu (computer processor) but change the filename from .msix to .zip and extract that.
