Odd. Definitely works for me. If you get that then the download manager has not been installed.

Did you know we are now offering affordable monthly subscriptions for Macro Scheduler Standard?

I just tried re-installing MS, but still get the same results.

Also, once this message is displayed, MS hangs no matter what I choose to do with the file. I can stop the debugger, but can't close the Editor window. I have to kill the mssched.exe in task manager.

This was working until recently.

My Windows 10 machines (64-bit) have all received the "Creators Update" from Microsoft and now Download Manager no longer works (even when running Macro Scheduler as Admin).

I'm back to getting this:

Is anyone else having this issue?

Nothing but crickets chirping in the background...

Same issue here. I'm having a hard time working out what Microsoft has changed. I see they've done something regarding VBScript execution in IE11 but can't see anything related to download managers. I will keep digging.

Marcus, thanks for the response. I have a previous workaround, but prefer a clean method.

I have great faith in your abilities to find a REAL solution! :lol:
