Where did you save it?
Which mirror did you use?
Try disabling your antivirus and firewall while donwloading and installing DT!

What size is it after download? Are you using a Download Manager? If so, try downloading it without a Download Manager.

Try this site then. If you're still having problems, it must be something on your end.

I've got the exact same thing happening. I downloaded the 86 bit version, and had to reboot twice, and the desktop shortcut does nothing, and the executable in the file folder does nothing.

During installation, it was odd that I got a system message about new product installation, and needing to reboot. I assume Windows saw Daemon as this?

Does this have something to do with the problem?

I have no firewall. I do have AVG free, that runs resident, and is very non-intrusive.

check the md5 checksums.
x86: 6899A8A23056E83B95F830FBF21F8E59
x64: 45055026B91C51F5440E2A09A226E75E
you can do this with md5sum.exe.
btw: there is no 86 bit version x86 is 32Bit^^

Are you sure it does "nothing"? You have a tray-symbol
with a flash-sign beside your clock in the tray?

Sorry, but I have to ask this: Are you sure you know what
Daemon Tools is good for and how to use it? Often people
download it and expect to see "anything", when in fact they
need to use the tray-symbol!

If this is true for you also, I strongly recommend to use
the
link at the left -> Daemon Tools Help (Left sidebar) and
read about HOW to use Daemon Tools.

Yeaah, newest version DT does nothing but piss me in the eye with error messages. First when install it, everything seems to go right but when it is supposed to launch I get a blue screen. After rebooting I don't get that tool bar icon and when I click desktop icon there's a message saying that I need newer SPTD (that should be included in 4.08). I tried my luck and installed SPTD separetely but no effect. It doesn't work...
