.exe Runs Then Closes Too Quick

I've got a vpn install for azure that I'm trying to run. It's an exe. So when I runt it (doublt-click it), I get a quick flash of 2 console windows and then it just closes too fast for me to see what's going on. The install just fails after that.

So how can I get that exe's command line windows to stay open so I can troubleshoot why the install isn't working? I'm sure those 2 command windows will tell me.

If you run the .exe from a command line window the window will not automatically close after running and you will be able to see the output.

Shift+Right-click in the folder the .exe is contained in, then select Open command window here from the context menu that opens. This will open a command prompt where you will type the exe file and hit enter to run.

The window will stay open after the exe exits and you should be able to see the error message.
