Bts,

Let me *show* you the web page which *I* see.

Surely *THIS* is not an .exe file - is it?!!!

I'm really *not* meaning to be difficult about this - I simply wish to
understand! Any other Microsoft web page I go to offering a download of
some sort (some examples were earlier posted by Peter Foldes) have a
'Download' button - this one does not.

WHY? That's all I ask!
