Status: offline 		Hi there,

I must do something wrong but I do not find exactly what the problem is. So I am downloading the installer for the TOAW3 scenario viewer.

Now, copying TOAWIIIViewer-2.4.0.0.msi.exe on my disk and double clicking on it, a small black DOS command window appears for few seconds and then nothing is installed.

My OS is Windows XP SP3. Are there any third parties that are mandatory for the installer to work?
Note I have the same problem with the TOAWIIIEditor-0.0.4.0.msi.exe.

Thanks in advance

I recommend the latest version of both and install them in admin mode:

Error message would help and what about Java installed/not?

The MSI files shouldn't have a .exe executable extension; they should only have a .msi extension and be of type Windows Installer Package (not Application).

Try removing the .exe extension.

Open a command window to see if there is a message. To do so you have to run cmd.exe. On my system that program is found in the c:\Windows\System32\ folder, as shown in the attached screenshot. (I keep a shortcut to this on my desktop, so that it is readily available).

This is it. I have downloaded these files with my MAC and it has added .exe extension. I was not seeing it in Windows explorer.
Thank you so much.

Now, I could still not install but it is clearly stating that my .NET framework is too old (lower than 3.5).
I am downloading it.

Thanks again

Glad I could help.

I also had to install .NET Framework 3.5 but once this was done I could install the scenario viewer.
