2. Save file to \\server\software
3. Log onto WHS Administrator Desktop (Remote Desktop)
4. Right click file and UNBLOCK
5. Double-Click file to run and the following error appears:

Hope someone can help.

Have you tried copying it to the server Desktop, while your RDP'd into the server and then trying from there?

Thank you so much. It seems so simple but the documentation said to install it from the Software shared folder and that never worked. I've spent a good part of 4 days trying to change security settings and anything else I could think of. I even submitted a but to Connect 4 days ago but have not gotten an answer.

Thanks again

I had the same problem. Copying it to the desktop via my computer and then unblocking it took care of it for me.

Seems like the instructions should be fixed.
