After the fall (October 2017) creators update (1709) for Windows 10, the top level installer for Pro shows hieroglyphics in opening screen when presented with the version choosing option.

This has something to do with Microsoft's font caching and isn't likely to be addressed until Spring or Fall of 2018.

You can work around it for now in a couple of different ways.

First, extract the Pro Installer (using 7-zip or another program) onto your desktop (extract to a folder).

Then one of the following:

Click into that folder where Pro was extracted, then right-click on Setup do Properties click on the Compatibility tab, click Run this program in compatibility mode for and select Windows 98/me. Click on Apply, then Ok. That will exit compatibility settings. Now just double-click on Setup in that folder and it should run without hieroglyphics.

Click into that folder where Pro was extracted and go into the folder of the component you are trying to install, say the User install files then TCP-Pro and click on the setup for the respective component.

You'll eventually need to go into the Admin Install Files and run the setup in there so you can apply your license.
