Note: I am downloading from this site and choosed windows platfporm and after that I downloaded openfire_3_9_1.exe Includes Java JRE (recommended)

Answer 1

According to the Openfire forums, the accepted answer is:

close it all down, then right-click --> run as administrator

Additionally, it is best practice to not use the exe but instead install it as a service as SnakeDoc recommended. You can do that by running openfire-service /install from the commandline in Openfire's bin directory. You can also view Openfire's documentation on how to install the service
