Running it as admin in cmd did the trick! I'm not quite certain why, but I'm not gonna worry much about that for now lol. WDC once downloaded opens correctly in Win11 after installed as well, I can confirm.

I've tried running as admin on both versions and it doesn't help, unfortunately. I can confirm the installers work, as I tried them in a Win7 virtual machine, but the installer seems to be picky about something when it comes to Win11. I don't think it's your fault, I feel rather confident it's Microsoft's fault for breaking compatibility somewhere (along with making it harder to engage with compatibility in the newest versions of Win11, which they force users to update to). Regardless, I can definitely use the software in the virtual machine I have set up or otherwise try moving them outside of the virtual machine to test.
Btw, I don't blame you for not having Win11 to test, if it wasn't pre-installed on my current machine I wouldn't be using it.
Whenever I try to run the installer for the most recent version (1.19.415) the program does not run (although there isn't a "this pc cannot run this app" message, the installer doesn't open any windows or otherwise allow me to install the program). I'm not certain if this is a new issue or not, but for what it's worth the program also does not open with compatibility settings active when I attempt that.
