Before you ATTEMPT to install any of these ISTA/D, please make sure you delete any previous install you might have, and running RCleaner. This will clear out anything in the registry that will be lingering from a previous install. You might’ve found a download of ISTA/D somewhere else and it failed to boot up, or somehow messed up the install process from my 3 Links I have provided.
This will give you a fresh start and eliminate any conflicts with a new install. I’d even recommend if you have never installed ISTA/D to run RCleaner as-well.
