Loading latest version

[StuartA]

I downloaded the latest version of theWord two days ago. This was downloaded from theWord web site.
When I click on the exe, I get the usual "Openfile - Security warning" screen.
I then click OK on this screen, another screen flashes for a split second, and nothing further happens, so I assume that the exe will not run.
I am running Win XP.
I have tried running it under "Run as" Adminstrator (my own profile is an administrator profile), and I have also disabled my antivirus, but it still does the same.
Has anyone any suggestions?

Download the file again. It could be corrupt/not complete.
I just tried the update package install on XP, and it went fine.

[StuartA]

OK. This is becoming a bit of an exercise in frustration.

I am currently on V400 of theWOrd.

I have downloaded both the binary update (6.5Mb) and the full package (49.9Mb) neither of which will open.

Is there an MD5 that I can use to verify the downloads?

Those sizes look ok.

What is the AV you use?

[StuartA]

Sorry. Been out of things for a while, hence no response.

"What is the AV you use"

What is "AV"?

[JG]

AV = antivirus

I would like to know your AV so I can install and test.

I've been out of things for a while.

I am using the latest freeware version of AVG. It is 2015.0.6081.

Stuart,
I have tried an update on Vista as I deleted my XP I had. The download of theWord update package ran without issue.
I don't know how else I can help you.

[StuartA]

Thanks for your input. My version of XP has been running now for at least seven years without interruption, apart from upgrades.

It could be anything that is causing this.

I actually need to upgrade to 7, but have one or two items of freeware on the machine that have limited licences which I will lose if I upgrade, so I will have to work around that.

I'll keep trying in the mean time.

Regards, Stuart
