Hi Ged, thanks again for your reply.

I would really like to know your thoughts regarding Fortect.

I have Just UNINSTALLED Fortect and any associated files but Monon-2_17-Main.exe still won't Install.

I appreciate that the other 8 exe and DO1 files are required, making 9 in total but they are no good to me
if thw First File doesn't Download to load the First DO1

I have been using Fortect for some Years now and have had no problems with it previously.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated regarding this.

Many thanks again for your help

Paul.

Hi Paul.
Sorry, mate, but you say "Monon-2_17-Main.exe still won't Install". Do you REALLY mean INSTALL or do you mean DOWNLOAD?
If you DO mean install, then it won't without its matching D01 file.

Cheers,
Ged

... it WON'T Download ...
Paul.

If you are still getting this message: "Monon-2_17-Main.exe isn't commonly downloaded. Makesure you trust Monon-2_17-Main.exe. before you open it." you likely need to specifically tell your browser to permit the download to proceed/complete. The exact steps to successfully do that typically depend on the particular browser you are using, but you should be able to ask Google for the list of browser-specific steps required in your case.

Good Morning trs666, thanks for your reply.

Never have much luck with Google.com but will certainly give it a try.

Many thanks

Paul.

I keep getting the Message:-

"Monon-2_17-Main.exe isn't commonly downloaded. Makesure you trust Monon-2_17-Main.exe. before you open it."

Paul kind of late on this one, but this message is just a warming, you are doing nothing wrong. Since you know where you got it and can trust it, you are free to run/open the file, but to run it you need all the other files in the same folder. You should see the .EXE in the folder you picked to downloaded it to. if it's there you are good to go, just do the other downloads first.

Good Morning Geary, thanks again for your help.

Not sure what you mean here?

I have the following 9 Download Files:-

Monon-2_17-Main.exe
Monon-2_17-Main.d01

Monon-2_17-Terrtex-a-k.exe
Monon-2_17-Terrtex-a-k.d01

Monon-2_17-Terrtex-l-mo.exe
Monon-2_17-Terrtex-l-mo.d01

Monon-2_17-Terrtex-mo2a-y.exe
Monon-2_17-Terrtex-mo2a-y.d01

Monon-2_OR_Update-SEP_2017.zip--------For Open Rails (OR) users only

However, Starting with the First File doesn't work, ahd trying to Download the other Files First (in any order) still gives the Message:-

"Monon-2_17-Main.exe isn't commonly downloaded. Makesure you trust Monon-2_17-Main.exe. before you open it."

Never had problems loading this Route before!

Many thanks

again.

Paul.

Good Morning, Paul,

I have deleted this post - see my reply after your next post

Good Afternoon Ged, yes I am using Microsoft Edge, never been a problem before. Which Browser are you using please?

When clicking on the three dots I get a different Menu to what you are showing me in ypur reply!

However. I do get the option to resume the Download, and have managed to load Monon-2_17-Main

But when downloaded Monon-2_17-Main.d01 it appears as Monon-2_17-Main (1) instead of Monon-2_17-Main.d01 which doesn't look right?

Guess I am going to have to skip this Route as I have wasted too much time of everybodys all ready.

Many thanks for all the help.

Paul.

Good afternoon, Paul,
If you wish to keep using the Edge browser, the following procedure DOES work!

In this box, click the three dots next to the magnifying glass :
Monon-DL-A.jpg

You should then see this display. Click on "Open downloads page" :
Monon-DL-B.jpg

The following will then be displayed, showing the file just downloaded at the top of the list. If you've downloaded other files, they'll also be shown on this page. Press 'Keep' :
monon-DL-C.jpg
After a short time. the file will be available to use from whichever downloads folder you are using.

Apologies for the earlier confusing instructions but I don't use Edge and was learning 'on the hoof'!

You are correct, whatever you did before was definitely NOT right!!

Cheers,
Ged

......................Paul.

The (1) indicates that it is a second download of a file with the same name.

[pcohen]

As usual, going round In circles again.

Monon-2_17-Main Is now ready to Install Into the Routes Folder.

Using the same method for the remaining Files are not responding.

What Browser are you using please?

Yet again I could be spending Hours trying to get this Route.

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul,
You may be going around in circles - what do you think we are doing?

I used Microsoft's Edge browser this afternoon to download all the Monon files (except one!). I only got that message on .exe and .zip files, NOT the .D01 files. If you are following the details in my post, EXACTLY, there is no reason why you should have any problem downloading the files !

Monon-DL-Full.jpg
PLEASE NOTE : File Monon-2_17-Terrtex-a-k.exe is not shown above because I'd downloaded it yesterday

If you have not set your Explorer to show file extensions, you won't see the .exe, .D01 or .zip, although the 3rd column should show the file type

Cheers,
Ged

Good Morning Ged.

Well, It doesn't appear to be working for me, at the moment.

I did ask what Browser you were using please?

Thanks

Paul.

Paul you have all the file downloaded if the list you provided are on your computer.

All you should need to do is click on the Main.exe file to begin installing the route.
mon1.jpg
That's the only .exe you need to run, the others open automatically, other then Monon-2_17 -con-act-serv-tr.exe & Monon-2_OR_Update-SEP_2017.exe if you want to use those run them after the route is installed.
Using Edge with Win11 I then get another message asking if I want to continue and just have to click on a "Yes" button to begin. Don't recall what sort of message Win10 gives if any. Unfortunately Windows will not allow me to grab a screen of that message.
Those messages are just Windows being a Pain in the Butt, trying to be helpful. They are not errors, you are doing nothing wrong.
