How to open the downloaded file Lightroom_6 LS11?
He asked what program to use to open it.
Just to get back to you. It was an expensive trip but I thought about it and it is actually very simple. For some reason, the ".exe" was omitted from the file. When I renamed the file with the name extension, he began the launch. Incredible. In any case, thank you for taking the time to help me.

Don't know what you're saying. The program is a 7z file that can be opened with any program Packer these days as the original 7zip of course but also of WinZip and others. If you are referriung to the download assistant, while this is a normal executable, but it requires Flash Player and Adobe AIR must be installed correctly on the system.

Applications running automatically, they ask what program to be open in
I have no idea what happened, but now whenever I try to open an application (Internet Explorer, Windows Media Play, whatever it is) it does not work, he asks what program I want to open it in. I found that if I right click on it and select "Start" it works, but I don't want to spend my life to do this whenever I want to check my e-mail, facebook, or simply listen to the music. Anyone know a fix for this? It's really annoying.
