During the past 24 hours (while Daz is updating its website) I made two purchases from the store. The first one I purchased and downloaded Friday morning. The file downloaded completely, then I went to run the .exe installer file and first Windows asked if the file installed correctly (no, it didn't do anything at all) so I tried again using the suggested settings. Again nothing happened. So I thought the download was bad. I downloaded the file 3 times, and each time when I tried to run the installer, nothing happened.
Then I made another purchase about an hour ago. Same exact thing happened.
I tried running it in admin mode, different compatibility modes....nothing.
I think it's more than a coincidence that the two product installers have the same problem, but I can't understand how or why a downloaded file from the Daz store could behave this way? Usually Windows will tell you if the downloaded file is incomplete or corrupted, but the file seems fine. The three different times I downloaded the first one, they all have the exact same file size.
It's like it starts to run when you click on it, and then poof the installation process just goes away like you never tried to run the file. It doesn't even make it to the first splash screen, just the little blue circle "wait" symbol spins for a couple of seconds, then it goes away and that's it!
Has anyone else recently downloaded a product from DAZ have this kind of problem?
