so i got the download yesterday. tried to open it. it opened my itunes and did nothing. today i was in the theatre and received an older version v311 from the house td. replaced the download. it does the same. opens itunes, then does nothing.
It sounds like something is horribly wrong with file associations your PC, you're not running Windows, or the file has had its extension changed.
The Expression Offline Editor download is a .ZIP file containing a Windows executable application.
It should be possible to unzip the executable file (.EXE) into any folder and run it as an application.
If your computer is trying to run iTunes, this means that the file extension is associated with iTunes and not with Windows/Executable/Application.
Ensure that you are running Windows 98 or newer Microsoft Windows operating systems.
Extract the EXE file from the ZIP file you downloaded - this is not done via iTunes.
Windows XP has built-in ZIP handlers, but installing software like WinZIP breaks this functionality.
Run the executable. This is an installer program, and again is not done via iTunes.
If iTunes opens at any stage in this process, your Microsoft Windows file associations are broken. Unfortunately repairing these is beyond the scope of this forum!
