    Kind of a shame that the only review is one-star with the text “It won’t open. How do I get my money back?”

  • Mike Rankin says:

    Yeah, I saw that. But when it’s just one review, I figure it’s most likely just that person’s issue. They might have ignored the 64-bit requirement. They might not have any free disk space. Who knows? But if there were five or ten people saying it doesn’t work…that’s a different story.
