Please give us more information about how you wanted to start the game. Factorio doesn't need any additional app to launch.

You should have downloaded one of these two versions:
  • MS Windows (64 bit exe installer)
    There should be an icon for Factorio on your desktop and/or in the start menu
  • MS Windows (64 bit zip package)
    You need to extract the downloaded .zip-file (right click and select "Extract All") and then launch the game by opening Factorio_0.11.22\bin\x64\Factorio.exe
If you still can't start the game, please post a screenshot of the error message you got.

EDIT: I think this should go under 'Technical Help'

Things to try:

1. Use a different browser to download it, like Google Chrome.

2. Forget the exe, just download the zip file, unzip it, and play that.

1) go to http://www.factorio.com
2) click the orange button on the right, which reads 'Try Demo'
3) Click on the first orange link (MS Windows (64 bit exe installer))
4) There should be a pop-up of some kind asking you to 'open' or 'save' the file
5) Choose open, the Factorio setup assistent should start (you might get a warning of some kind, in that case, select 'open anyway' or something like that)

choose 'open' and the installer starts

or as DaveMcW said, open in a different browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera) or try with the zip-package.

Should all of the above fail, repeat the steps seen above, but select 'save' instead of 'open'.
Open the start menu, enter %homepath%\Downloads into the search field and press enter on the keyboard.
A folder will pop up, look in that folder for a file named Setup_FactorioDemo_x64_0.11.22.exe, double-click on it and it should start the installation.
