If so, it downloads fine for me.
What is this "Download Help info"? and what security needs unlocking?
Which browser are you using, and have you tried another browser? I used Firefox to download this file.

I already have v1.2.4 on my computer. I have tried unsuccessfully to update to v1.2.6 and have followed the Download Help info to unblock security to enable download to proceed, but it does not happen. I don't want to be led to endless screens offering other products or join a forum on anything, or attempt to find relevant information on a website with appallingly jerky navigation. I just want to download v1.2.6. Why make it so complicated? A brief, comprehensive instruction is all I need. Can someone please mail me back with one?
