I have succeeded and so has others. Here is how to do it.
>”Installation does not start automatically.”
Correct; I think you mean download does not start immediately. Starting the Installation is something you initiate. Most of the SoS giveaway offers will start downloading automatically, but every so often, they do not. Regardless, the link is always there to download, which you have already done.
>”I had to click setup file in Extracted folder. The installation just hangs at 1st photo and do not proceed.”
That is exactly what happens if you do not copy all of the contents in the Zip file to a regular folder first. The setup program needs access to the other files but it cannot access them unless they are in a regular folder.
Microsoft makes it possible to view the contents of a Zip file by double-clicking on the Zip file. The File Manager makes it look like a regular folder but it is not a folder at all; you are simply seeing the contents of the Zip file. Sadly, by making the Zip file contents look like they are in a regular folder, it trips a lot of people up. Copy ALL of the Zip file contents to a regular folder, then double click on the Setup.exe program.
When you get to the activation part, if you try the Activate via Internet and it fails, then immediately switch to the activate via e-mail method. It always works. Alternatively, you can choose the e-mail method from the beginning. The e-mail method will reveal to you the hardware-key for your computer. Send it and the code that you get from SoS when you first downloaded the program to the Soft Xpansion support ([email protected]). The e-mail method explains this but some people did not read it carefully to understand what to do. Since it is the weekend now, you may not get a reply from Soft-Xpansion until early Monday if you are in the U.S. (they are in Germany). They will reply to your e-mail with an attachment in a Zip file. Download the Zip file, and copy its contents out into a regular folder. Then back in the activation dialog, put the SoS code in the Product key field (the hardware-key will already be there of course). Below the two fields is a button to browse to the extracted file you received from Soft Xpansion. Once you have it selected, you will see the OK button is ready to click. Click the OK button and instantly, you will be activated.
Best of luck to you.
[NOTE:] By the way, when there is only a single setup.exe file in a Zip file, sometimes you can double-click on it, and the setup will work fine. That has caused some people to think that you can click on any setup.exe program in a Zip file. Some will work, and some will not work. It depends on whether that installation program checks to see where it is being executed from or checks other things, such as checking its own filename. Some offers come with specific requirements that the installation program not be renamed.
