Thanks.

I had gone to that location to get the older MSI for 1.48. That's the one that was giving me so much trouble. The other download location had the file and I got it from there in case the original from the calibre site had be mismanaged in the download.

I was able to will the installation into being by simply continuing to hit the LOAD button not believing that newer file was also bad. I just kept hitting and hitting and hitting it until the INSTALL window finally showed up. Then that one told me the file was bad and asked to CANCEL or RETRY. RETRY RETRY RETRY RETRY at least a dozen times. No bull! And finally it loaded.

So now 1.48 is on the office machine and I expect I will have to do the same on the home machine. Who says doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is a mark of insanity? (chortle)

Thanks again to everyone who offered help on this. It's been greatly appreciated.
