Windows 7 Student Edition Download

[junkie]

I purchased W7 Pro 64-bit version from Digital River (Student Edition for $39.99) - I got the confirmation with the download information and I downloaded one single file called "DLMWin7Pro64CAen.exe" which is just 347KB! I understand it is an Installer file. How do I download the rest of the files ? Everyone else seem to have downloaded 3 files!

Has anybody else received just a single file like me? How did you get the entire OS so that I can burn a DVD and keep it?

Your help is much appreciated.

Have you run the file that you received?? What happens??

 

[junkie]

No I haven't. First of all, I want to clarify the issue of number of files, before proceeding.

 

[sup3rsprt]

maybe the first file downloads the others when you run it?

 

[frolix22]

I believe that file starts to download the installation when you run it.

DLM would normally stand for "DownLoad Manager".

I'd expect you run that file and it manages your download for you. That way you can resume later if necessary, etc.

I think that you are borrowing trouble... this sounds like a loader, and you'll never know until you run it... You could always contact DR if you are really concerned..

Is there any one in this forum who had ordered the Student Edition of W7 Pro who can answer the question?

 

[sup3rsprt]

Why not just answer it yourself, by running the exe?

lay off the drugs junkie

 

[Khuffie]

It's the download manager. It'll download the files for you. Which is what the site tells you when you download the file...

Obviously, you are on drugs and you have no answer to my question. Back off pal!

 

[sup3rsprt]

No I don't do drugs. I was only joking, but what did you expect with a name like junkie?

I do think that the answer was pretty obvious the whole time.

 

[twdawson]

it is a download manager and when its finished it will give you three files. It was explained on the digital river site.

 

[Tews]

Your issue has been addressed with some rather sound advise... why not take it???

 

[junkie]

No I don't do drugs. And I was only joking.

However I do think the answer was pretty obvious the whole time.

Glad you are not. But if the answer was obvious, it would have been easier to say it rather than pollute the thread with reference to drugs. Now, it is time to maintain the sanctity of the forum so back off and let others in, Pal!
No offense ever meant from my side.

None taken. I'm here to help not to fight.

Thank you for the reply. I did research DR site prior to posting, but missed it and hence my post. Can you post the URL of this particular answer in DR please?

 

[Tews]

All right folks...kiss and make up.. lets keep it civil..

Thanks for confirming what a few of us suspected to be the case.
