I installed Web2py on my machine. When I click web2py.exe, a console appears for a second and disappears. Nothing more than that. What must be missing?

Open a command line and start the program from there. You might be able to see some error messages then – Joshua Varghese Apr 17 '20 at 11:53

As per different blog post, the latest web2py version is broken. You can download an older version from the the for the time being. For my case, I am now started with a older version.

It seems to be broken. However, you can download the source and run it like this:
python web2py.py
There's a discussion mentioning the problem on the web2py group and Nico Zanferrari has a fix in his repository.
