Q. The software file seems to download, but I cannot find it. What do I do?

A.  If you are using a Unix based system such as a MAC, we have a known issue. The file name is getting prefixed with 
the folder name. E.g - if you downloaded the file 'xyz.bin' to a folder 'abc', the file name in the Unix directory will 
be 'abc\xyz.bin'. The file is fine to download. Please rename the file to remove the folder prefix 'abc\' before using 
the file. We are currently working on resolving this issue.
