Hi people of techyv, please allow me to share my experience here in techyv, when I am about to download a copy of foxit reader from there site, I meet a strange error, please see below the error message.

 

Error

Program isn’t meant to be run like this, don’t do it again!!!

As I read on the error, it makes me think twice, such a short error message "Program isn’t meant to be run like this, don’t do it again!!!", that is why I have a hard time figuring out what went wrong, when I look for same error message over the internet, but none was posted as what I have, I am asking for some help on this error message, hoping to hear your ideas,

Thanks.

  • If you have tried researching about this error and find nothing at any sources then it is possibly a malware or a malicious program residing on your computer system. In most cases, it would be a VBS file or JavaScript, Java that will trigger that error message. Scripting languages such as mentioned has an advantage towards the computers resources since they are client based.
  • If we are going to judge the error message, it is not well detailed. It doesn't contain any hint or parameters what caused such error. It is also inappropriate to give you a double exclamation. This error could be a work of any malicious programs since you are downloading.
  • Try to scan your computer for malware presence and get rid of those. Be sure to have an updated scanner for better results.

If you search this error on Google, you will not find a matching result. If you encountered this error when downloading Foxit Reader, very few people probably encountered it that’s why it doesn’t appear on Google search.

Now, if you receive this error when downloading Foxit Reader, you probably used Microsoft Internet Explorer to download the program since it is the only browser that will prompt you if you want to save or open the file. When downloading something with Microsoft Internet Explorer, always select “Save” so the browser will download the file to your hard drive.

If you select “Open,” the browser will attempt to run the file or program you are downloading from the current location which might cause problems since the file is not originally located in your hard drive. To fix the problem, download Foxit Reader again with Microsoft Internet Explorer then select “Save” when you are prompted or use a different browser to download the program.
