    Buggy installation on Win 10. "Download" button fails. MSI button fails. The Zip worked. Generally confusing, but apparently this will synchronize computer installations. Does pick and choose type installations from a catalog list. You register and the email doesn't show for some questionable time. Country of origin appears to be Germany.
