Hi Neville, thank you so much for your help on this issue.

Pastel version11

Here is the solution:

Close Pastel, then browse to your Pastel folder and right click on the executable file that launches Pastel, e.g. Partner.exe or Xpress.exe, and select Properties.

Open the Compatibility tab and tick the box named "Run this program as an administrator", and then click on OK.

Open Pastel and go to Manage Companies, and click on Locate Server, and browse to the Custom folder (found under your Pastel folder on the main Pastel computer) and click on the Registration folder and click on OK.

The companies should then display.

Hey there please assist as when i had done this (right clicked and run as admin its asking me to register again. I already have it register please help.

I am wanting to instal my copy of Pastel Xpress v11 on to my new computer running Windows 10.

I have tried a silent install.

I get the following message:
This app has been blocked for your protection.
An administrator has blocked you from running this app.

What do I do now?

Think you should run installation as administrator

Close down all open applications. Reset the date on your machine to 2011 sometime. Rightclick the install file and run as administrator. Once it has finished installing, reset your date back and register the software.

Select the Xpress11 folder in explorer, right click it, properties, security. Add "everyone" and give them full control. Open the product and complete the registration wizard. Help - Register your package and complete the process. Once the software is registered, the error code 2 should be cleared as well.
