The problem was resolved when the person realized they were trying to run the Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable instead of installing MATLAB. The person also mentions that their friend had previously downloaded the source file as a WinRAR file, but this was not related to the issue.

It sort of looks like you're just clicking icons. The first screen shot doesn't give any information about what you were doing when it was displayed. Maybe you could fill us in on what you were trying to do.

The second seems to indicate that you were trying to run the Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable. This is not an application that you run. It's code that gets linked into some other application.

I don't see any indication in either screenshot that you're installing Matlab. Can you give us some information about how you're trying to do this?

that he said me he downloaded the source file as winrar.
