Which version of Windows are you running?
For example, this error occurs, if you are trying to run 64bit-software on a 32bit-OS. So are you downloading software with something like x64 oder 64bit in it's (file)name? If so, you might want to try another version with x86 or 32bit in it's name.
Also have a look at this -> "File is not designed for your version of Windows".

This issue can be caused by any of the below possibilities.

File is corrupt, bad, or missing.
File is not designed for your version of Windows.
File is a virus, worm, or other malware file.
Hardware incompatibility.

I have had this recently when trying to join a Webex meeting. The download manager I use intercepted whatever Webex used to initiate the session and gave the error in the OP.
