Hi there,

I guess it either your browser which is not proposing you to download it or your programs which are not corresponding to your needs.
I would suggest to try with another browser. Then just choose the "download option". Your current browser is probably set to automatically open zip files.

Hi,

Sure not!

We provide a "zip" and "tar.gz" files for HikaShop. There is no "installer" that you can run into your computer. It is a Joomla package.
Please check that you right downloaded "hikashop_starter" and not an executable one.
If you can't open a zip file in your computer, it is not a problem. You have to upload/install the zip file thought Joomla.

Regards,

I had to download it on a seperate computer to get the zip file. but finally have it. But still dosnt work on this computer. think something else might be wrong here. your download link atleast works.

Hi,

Maybe your computer try to open the file and want to open it with this software.
I don't really know but we don't have any link with the other software and we provide standard zip files.
