Please give examples of how I would block a specific exe program \ from installing or running on a computer in both ENS and VSE.

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

If you know the file name then you can create one Access protection rule under VSE or ENS to block the new execution of the setup file and block the installation.
If already the application is installed still you can create one Access protection rule to block the execution of the file which is responsible for the application opening.

For VSE
