Question Weird warning window

[AndyBen77!]

Hi! I was working on downloading some apps and programs. I got this message. What does this mean? And what is the easiest fix? "to install this product, please run setup.exe under the <DVD root> folder”

where are you downloading some apps and programs?

where are you downloading some apps and programs?

Thank you! I’m downloading to desktop.

Thank you! I’m downloading to desktop.

No, where from. Let's get full details about what you're doing, from where, how, and why. You've provided next to no information. Nobody can give you diagnostic advice from a mostly unexplained situation; if I call up a mechanic and can tell him nothing more than "car no go" there's not much he's going to be able to do for me.

I’ve searched Google for this message “to install…” quoted from above. I can’t seem to find an answer. Normally I’m able to eek things out with Doctor Google, LOL but this query brings up nothing.

Your question “ where are you downloading some apps and programs?” Makes me wonder if I’ll have better luck not saving to desktop but downloads instead?

Understood, thank you! Downloading software from AB.com (Allen Bradley / Rockford) automation training software.

that the exact message? it actually said <DVD root> ?
"to install this product, please run setup.exe under the <DVD root> folder”

if you download training from them, should contact them

It means that the installer is looking for the disk in the DVD drive.
And since apps you download don't do that, I assume you're downloading ripped copies of DVD versions of them.

We also don't support piracy in any form so this thread is now closed.
