I'm having a bit of a problem with this game. I downloaded it in January and my computer won't let me play it.

First, when I tried to open the game, Windows Defender thought it was a virus. I didn't know what to do at first, but then I was told that I have to press "More info" and then "Run anyway" (pressing "Don't run" will delete the game (I did that with another game before since I didn't know how to allow it to run) and pressing the close button will do nothing. "Run anyway" will not show up unless you press "more info").

After I pressed "Run anyway", a pop up showed up, saying that I need to download DirectX Runtime in order for the game to work. I downloaded the latest version. It said the only feature of DirectX Runtime that won't work is the Bing Bar (I don't know what that is, but I hope it isn't something important since it said that if the computer allows Bing Bar to work, it will get viruses).

After I downloaded DirectX Runtime, the game still wouldn't work. However, the pop up that showed this time, did not tell me what to do next. It just said I can't open the game. I decided to wait a few days before trying again.

However, I waited too long. A few days ago, I decided to try to play Advanced Education with Viktor Strobovski again and I noticed that it was gone (along with the other game I downloaded).

Also, I have a 64-bit laptop running on Windows 10.

Does anyone know how I can get Advanced Education with Viktor Strobovski to run on my computer?

Also, I have a picture of the error message, but my phone won't let me post it here.

Ok, I'm now writing this on my computer. Here are the screenshots (except the DirectX Runtime pop up because it no longer shows up):
