I am trying to update 3 tiu's and remotes. Downloaded the soft ware from MTH website and pinned it to the taskbar. When I open the file it say's I need something called winzip. I have a fairly new computer running windows 10 and all the required cables. Can't get the file to open or run. What am I doing wrong? I don't want to buy WinZip if I don't have to. Thanks in advance for all replies and help.

It's hard to walk someone thru. Create a folder in my documents and move the zipped file to it, so that's the only thing in the folder. When you put the cursor on the downloaded file you should see a button that says "extract" if you see that button extract and it should unzip the files and ask if you want to open the program.

if you don't see extract, try right clicking on the zipped file and see if an extract or unzip button shows up. 

I have win 10 and do this all the time. You should no longer have to go get a program to unzip files.

hope it works

With Windows 10 I never downloaded any unzip app.  It just unzips files.   When I double click on DCS6_00.exe this window pops up.  Click on the Unzip box.

Zipfile1

When I type unzip into Windows Help I get this box.

Zipfile2

I have no clue why the upgrade files  aren't named *.zip files.

The files unzip but can't be viewed or used. I am using Windows Edge and I wonder if that is the problem.  Thanks Susan.

When you go back to the beginning, you needed these files:

at  http://www.protosound2.com/   in the box at the bottom you need these two files:
11/05/2015   V5.00    DCS Consumer Loader Program
10/06/2017   V6.10   DCS Version 6.10  

The Loader Program is the window that runs the Version 6.1 DCS Software to update the TIU and Remote.

I will try that. Right now those file are unavailable as the website is down.

Ok. I downloaded the required files to my desktop. They still won't display after being unzipped. I have no clue what to do next as I am out of things to try.
