Please confirm you extracted the executable installation program from the zip file?
You cannot run an executable from inside a zipped folder.
Yep did that as well also restarted my computer too
Are you using the installation program from the thumb drive that came with the device or one you downloaded from the Netgear web site?
It would not hurt to download a fresh copy from the web site here: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/A8000/A8000_Win_V1.0.0.125.zip
When you ran the installation program, did you have the adapter connected to your computer?
The instructions say not to have the adapter connected to your computer when you run the installation program.
