Download wont open  en

Author: John G.
Visited 1993, Followers 1, Shared 0  

I had to wipe everything off my pc, and have been trying to reinstall my version from my downloads.

It downloads the software but it wont let me open it. It keeps saying that windows cant open this file and needs to know what program I want to use to open it.

When I click on use the web service to find the correct program  none of the ones listed are compatable.

Any ideas

John

Hello John, 

please disable the firewall and antivirus programs before downloading the software from the "Download" section of your Help Center account. 

If you're still having difficulties despite that, please send me some screenshots to show me what happens. Thank you in advance. 

Kind regards.

I shut down my firewall and antivirus and tried again with same result. I've downloaded the file a number of times and keep getting same result i.e. you can see in the screenshot. I select open and the 'checking security' message shows, followed by the screen flashing and then just left with the page as before.

John, have you tried renaming the file wsx5_ev12.exe and then running it? If it works you may not have to wait until after the weekend :-)

You may have to "show file name extensions" in Windows Explorer to achieve this.

Hi John, 

I'm happy to hear that you could solve the issue, this was probably due to some browser configurations. 

Thanks! I wish you a nice day.
