You can try to download/install QM 2.3.3. It will not help to install QM 2.3.4 but may give some info, maybe it also does not run.

Somehow incorrectly installed. Try to double click qm2help.chm in Explorer. If it shows a security dialog like for downloaded files, uncheck the checkbox.

Maybe QM is running in Avast sandbox. Make an exclusion for files in QM folder.
Also can set autosandbox mode Ask, then will see sandboxed programs and can choose how to run them.
Avast autosandboxes all QM beta executables. Probably because the files are very new and rare.
