You tried to open both exe files right? If so, weird problem you got there, without an error message i can only give general tips like;
trying to see if a compatibility mode helps.
// disable your antivirus.
// open in admin mode.
But it's weird, because it seems that not even a log file is being made.
When you try to open the game nothing happens? like a quick pop-up in the screen, does the application leaves something open in the task manager?
