I moved your question from the answered thread about Visual Studio integration, because it didn't belong there.
Now tell us what file you tried to run before getting the error and whether your installation files are really in on the C: drive.
To resolve this issue, you can use one of the following options:
Before you run Setup, use the Default Programs Control Panel to associate the .hta file type with the HTML Application Host program.
If you are prompted to choose a program with which to open setup.exe, choose HTML Application Host.
Right-click the file setup.exe and choose Run as administrator.
Right-click the file setup.exe and choose Properties. Click the Compatibility tab. Under Compatibility mode, select Windows 7.

you cannot install AX component directly from component directory you must install it through AX installation wizard by selecting component from installation list
If this error occurred from original installation file
Try run as administrator
check any installed antivirus prevent your installation to start
your windows version is supported by AX
Please close the wizard and re-run the setup again.
Also if you are getting the error while opening the setup.exe itself then Umesh solutio is perfect!!
i too faced it earlier , umesh solution worked for me.

None of the answers worked for me I had to copy the media into the client machine.
Finally solved according to https://superuser.com/questions/1322203/trying-to-run-an-hta-gives-this-app-cant-run-on-your-pc
