PS: Yeah, somewhat a canned message. Currently in the middle of a
bunch
of things while doing release, so my apologies.

I downloaded the X64 version for my Windows 10 system, but it
doesn't run when I double-click or use Open or even when I run it as
Administrator. My Avast antivirus and an on-demand scan with
MalwareBytes show the file is safe. I switched to Edge to download
it again in case my original download was corrupted, but Microsoft
blocked the download, saying the file may harm my computer.
By doesn't run you mean the installer doesn't open?
I had no problem installing and running it on Fedora 33 Linux.
Will check on Windows sometime.
When I double-click the exe file I see the busy icon for a few
seconds, then nothing else happens. No installer window opens, and no
new task appears in Task Manager. There is no UAC issue, as SeaMonkey
is not installed on my boot drive.
You could read the releasee notes and check if this helps:

Windows:
You might not be able to install SeaMonkey in Windows 10 if you
have turned on the Windows Defender Smartscreen feature. Your SeaMonkey
download will be blocked in the case. To overcome this go to "Windows
Security->App & browser control" in the new Windows Settings and set the
"Check apps and files" setting to Warn from Block.

I got the file directly from the builder a week ago and it installed
fine in 20H2, 1909 and Server 2016. But the first thing I do after
installing Windows 10 is turn off smartscreen and this "block on first
sight" stuff. I value my privacy too much for allowing to report
anything I download to MS :) Real-time protection is the only thing on.
sha256 for *seamonkey-2.53.6.en-US.win64.installer.exe directly from the
builder is 177924a851751c0351fd1a62f86d03caf9a2d08a9e596ff01037a878b56774ec

Thanks for the advice. It worked. I don't use Windows Defender, so I
had never seen those security settings. Apparently some recent Windows
update turned those security settings on by default. Strangely, there
was no warning message when I tried the installation before turning off
those settings; the file just didn't execute. Aren't we fortunate that
Windows protects us so well? ;)
