Here are a few interesting links which might be interesting to you:
When you have difficulties downloading it, you are probably on Windows 10 and Internet Explorer 11, like I am. Let me share you how I was able to download ..
- First, install the latest “File Transfer Manager” from Microsoft. Best is to uninstall and re-install. You can get it here.
-
Next, make sure you’re using Internet Explorer, not Edge! There is even an “Open with Internet Explorer” option in Edge:
- Unblock popups .. you need popups!
- Navigate to the download page.
-
Click your desired download
- This is the part that you would expect that the File Transfer Manager would pop up, and that the download would start .. But doesn’t
-
Be brave, and go to the developer tools (you can just press F12)
-
Go to “Emulation” and change the document mode to “10”
Magic happens – File transfer Manager wakes up and the download is ready to start!
You can also change the compatibility mode of “Microsoft.Com” by adding it in the “Compatibility View Settings” .. But I didn’t really want to do that for all microsoft.com sites.. .
Hope this helps!

Incredible. Moving to the cloud and conquering the world but unable to provide a simple download…
It is sad that NAV cannot be downloaded with it’s own MS Tools.
Thanks Waldo. Needed this.
This is a perfect example where we are: Providing high complex new things but cannot deal with the simple ones 🙂
Thanks waldo!
Thanks a lot!
I agree regarding the download. Incredible that they still have issues with this, why not just skip the transfer manager.
Same problem with Windows 8.1 and same fix makes it work. Do you anyone actually tests this?
Thanks much for the info.
Download is still not working for me any ideas?

I don’t know.. this trick seems to work for quite a lot of people.. .
Thanks a lot!!!!
awesome, thanks…. that did it.
Simply set the download page to open in compatibly view and it works just fine without all these steps.

This helped me thanks!
Thanks Waldo, saved me a good few hours of confusion this morning.
Download the latest version of FTM built in 2007!! Thanks for the emulation setting, it was doing my head in!
The download is fixed now. Microsoft removed FTM from the process.
