How does downloader work?

I got my GS911 WiFi today and spent a little time with it before I had to go to work. I got the network connections working right. My laptop, cell phone, and tablet can all talk to the GS911. I ran the downloader utility and elected to download the latest software for my Vista laptop. I was asked if I wanted to open or save the file. I elected to open thinking it would install itself, but I got an error that said the file extension was unknown. In fact the file did not have an extension. Does the downloader install the file, and if so what has gone wrong with my attempt?

There are 2 tasks for you to do

1/ The downloader will download the Windows software, select save file and then run the installer after it downloads

2/ Use either the WiFi web interface or the Win WiFi utility and check for updates for the WiFi firmware, update if it says newer firmware available

I've tried to download the file, but I get a file without an extension. I get this file:GS-911-1411.2[1]

Are you sure file extensions are shown in the set up of your Vista ?, there has been no change to the latest version we are aware of and many people have downloaded it. What is the file size of he downloaded file ?

I would proceed with the WiFi update and get the firmware in it up to date

I tried something just to see what would happen. I dropped the [1] in the filename and added .exe and it worked. I'll have to look into why the file was saved like that. I don't use Windows very often, I prefer Linux, so I not real sure where to look yet. It will be great when the cloud services become available. Then I should be able to use my Linux browser instead.
