I bought the windows DLable version of Creator, but I cannot open it.

Trying to save it to disk gives me an "InstallAnywhere" file, but after DLing "Install Anywhere" I still cannot open it.

I tried saving it to disk as a different name. Tried opening it with WinZip. Tried opening and running it right from the website. Tried pleading with it. Tried emailing the orders person on the Contact Us section, but it is Saturday and I need it for tonights session.

I run an XP computer if that makes a difference. The required specs list XP as compatable so I'm hoping that isn't it.

Hope you all can help me.

Most likely, it's downloading simply as "setup". This is an IE thing...IE's version of security is to strip the ".exe" extension off of the file.

All you need to do is rename the file to "setup.exe" and run it.
