    Use the powershell script or adjust the run.cmd and then it works ;)

    Tried it from powershell and same result.
    There is no run.cmd
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    How to run the executable
    • Download the ConvertTo-PfW.exe.
    • Unblock the download.
    • Drag and drop an ISO or WIM file onto the ConvertTo-PfW.exe
    • Let it run until completion.
    What does "unblock the download" mean?

    You said to enable it but that didn't work.
    I disabled it and now it is working.
    Thanks for the advice.

    Excuse this stupid question, but which version of Windows 10 is the "better" one (for a normal PC)? Pro for Workstations or Enterprise?

    Nope. Other than the wikipedia obvious ones, there are quite some differences where it counts (consumer licensing and permanent activation, group policies, subscribed content).

    You have a secondary feature enabled which has a functionality to log script-blocks, undoubtedly in Group Policy or elsewhere. Such features will not allow the executable to run because of how it must maintain its own integrity when processing changes to the WIM file per its access to the actual WIM's internal handle that WimGapi uses. This ensures that no secondary background processes can interact with the actual processes and lead to corruption.

    Unlike DISM, etc. if WimGapi is set up to track image integrity, and another process is detected to be acting on the WIM file, it will immediately release the WIM handle to prevent any unnecessary corruption. This is done using WimGapi's Win32 P/Invoke along with a SafeHandle public sealed class.

    The non-executable does not have such checks because it does not use a native method for accessing and converting the WIM file.
