Are you using XP?

If so, 4.5 targetted .net application may not be compatible.

  As per this case, the following steps which may guide you to resolve this issue (unable to run executable file ):

1.Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad

2.Copy and paste the text below into Notepad:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile]       
"EditFlags"=hex:d8,07,00,00       
@="Application"       

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell]       
@=""       

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open]

Hi iqbal.hal,

Thanks for your post.

It seems that you couldn’t install Ajax Control Toolkit via installer. You could run the following command in the Package Manager Console to install Ajax Control Toolkit.

PM> Install-Package AjaxControlToolkit

http://www.nuget.org/packages/AjaxControlToolkit/

or search and install Ajax Control Toolkit in “Manage NuGet Packages”  window.

Best Regards,

Fei Han
