guitarno Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 dmg is the Mac version. Did you download the wrong file for Windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi again, vanilla, The .dmg is a Mac disc image file that opens on the desktop to install the software. The .exe file is a Windows executable file that installs the software. The .zip is a cross platform self extracting compressed archive of files. Hope this helps/makes sense (but as it's you vanilla, I will expect more weirdness) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanilla Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 I did guitarmo. Yes commando, i know the difference, but i was expecting windows to be at the top of the list. That;s just what i'm used to. I signed in via helix native, clicked check for updates and the download page without windows being the first choice at the top of the list, i downloaded the mac version of helix native 3.00. I didn't think to scroll down any further for the windows version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but in a different language system, it goes ABCDE -> Z which would be .dmg -> .exe -> .zip Line 6 is distributing across different platforms not just Windows. It’s a mystery! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
