Inno Setup Installer Not Working in Windows 7

Question

i'm trying to create an installer for my .exe game application i've created in java that I need to deliver as a college assignment, however i'm just using the basic Inno Setup Script Wizard to pack it up and get the installer, but seems like i'm having issues when i'm trying to open the created installer in Windows 7, it works fine in windows 10 and windows 8/8.1, but the installer doesn't works in windows 7, it doesn't open or anything, but it shows that the process is active in the task manager of windows 7.

Here's the code that the Wizard Script tool generated

Is there any information in the Windows Event Log? Have you tried running with an option to create a log file and then examined the log for any info? — Ken White
No related information in the event log and it doesn't create the log file using the cmd — NeptaliD
Seems like the installation just hangs in task manager with 58 kb of memory usage in windows 7, i don't get why this is happening while in the other mentioned operating systems is working — NeptaliD
Does it hang even before you get the "elevation prompt"? How long did you try to wait? — Martin Prikryl
Maybe it is waiting for you to do the elevation but not in the foreground (check your taskbar)? To see what is going on, please use Process Explorer to get the call stacks of the threads running in the process (double-click process, go to threads tab, select thread and click "Stack", etc) and post them here. To get more details, you could also create a dump by right-clicking the process in task manager and choosing "dump". The dump can then be analyzed to see what the process was doing at that moment. — CherryDT

Try turning off Avast protection if you have a problem running the installer.
