1260 error when running exe

Hello, one of my programs that I've compiled as an exe is not running on a friend's PC. It was built on my Windows 7 PC (64-bit) with PureBasic v5.31 (the 32-bit version). It's got Unicode enabled but nothing is ticked for Request Administrator or Request User mode. The exe runs fine for me on my machine, where I'm logged in as a Limited user (not Admin).

When he runs my exe, he gets this 1260 software restriction policy error. He says he is logged in as an Administrator and that the exe only launches if he right-clicks it and selects "Run As Administrator".

EDIT: On second look, it appears it's not my exe the problem, but the Setup.exe I made for it using InnoSetup: it appears that his PC isn't letting Setup.exe launch my exe after installation?

Tell your friend, that his machine is maybe infected.
The "Alureon.E" for example made this behaviour.

The are many links like this that describe your problem.

Just a wild guess, but this looks like he has some anti-executable software (perhaps CryptoPrevent?) running. I would try adding an exception, or just disabling protection during the installation.
