Before starting installation, check any zip files you have downloaded and make sure they are not blocked. Zip files downloaded from the Internet, including all files inside, may be blocked by the operating system. This can also happen when copying zip files across a network. If the download package zip file is blocked, then running the extracted setup.exe program may cause the Granta MI Installation Manager to fail, or to install blocked DLLs.

Look at the properties of the zip file and see whether an Unblock button appears on the General tab in the file’s Properties dialog:

If the zip file is blocked, then you must unblock it before unzipping it again, and proceeding with the installation. In some environments it may not be sufficient to unblock the zip file prior to unpacking. If this is the case, you should try a non-Windows zip utility. Programs from 7-zip or WinRAR are examples of such utilities.
