    Guys,

    I went to download the Tron: Evolution Trainer today and the zip I downloaded had a readme file in it, but no executable.

    I checked a couple of other trainers (HAWX 2, Alien Breed: Impact & Apache: Air Assault) to see it if was just related to the Tron trainer, but had similar results (appropriate readme files for the game, but no exes in any of them). I downloaded an old trainer (Need for Speed: Carbon) and it had both the readme and executable.

    Until recently (about 3 weeks ago) this was certainly working as I have a older version of the Alien Breed trainer.

    Any chance you guys can have a look and let me know what's wrong?

    Thanks

    You anti-virus is responsible for the deletion of the trainer (exe file) from the zip file. Disable if before downloading.

    HonestGamer,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I've uninstalled Avast and confirmed that Windows Defender is turned off. However, I'm still having the same problem.

    Regards,

    That sure is strange! Don't see any other reason on why are you getting the text file only.

    Did you try downloading the file from some other PC?

    This is because of the ^^ in your username. Your alias will be changed to simply Archangel within the next 24 hours or so. You can then try your downloads again.

    Thanks Chris. Nothing like special characters to cause problems...
