[Magdalen] MS Windows users question...

[Roger Stokes]

It may be as well to keep clicking it every day or so to check whether 
or not it has already been downloaded and is ready to install or 
download. If your machine is more or less permanently connected it will 
download in the background but I know some, possibly because of a broken 
connection, have had a corrupted download.

Some get an error code 80240020 when they try to install
https://www.reddit.com/r/windows/comments/3eyrre/fix_for_the_80240020_error_when_trying_to_install/ 
or http://bit.ly/1DadwYr gives advice on what to do if that happens.
