If it's a 3rd party end point software I would open a support case with them. If you're certain it's a non-malicious application you should be able to whitelist it in your end point protection software.

Hi I have spoken to my training company and they have confirmed it is 100% non malicious and it works on many other systems. I have white listed it as well, but when I open the application it only opens briefly then disappears. It there a possibility my OS could be missing files or something or is there any other way I could over come this ??
I appreciate your help
