    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.

    You have the Xpress Startup package, which only allows you to add two companies, which you have previously done.

    After adding the server, do you see your two companies listed, but with a red cross over them? If so, then highlight the first one and then select Activate Company (not Add Company), and repeat for the second company.

    If you don't see the companies listed at all, then your package needs to be reset to allow you to add them again.

    Send me an email or PM if you would like to arrange a TeamViewer session with me.

    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
