Will Microstudio open directly from the .exe file?

Assuming you saved it in the default folder, open MY COMPUTER, double click LOCAL DISC C: , PROGRAM FILES, MICRO TECHNOLOGY UNLIMITED, MICROSTUDIO (the folder), MICROSTUDIO.EXE

If the program opens, close it and right click on the .exe file and click SEND TO DESKTOP to create a new shortcut.

If that shortcut opens the file from the desktop, just delete the old shortcut.

If that doesn't work, on the off beat chance you may have gotten a corrupted download, you might try downloading the file again, and start fresh.
