email is blocking one of the files - says can't be sent.
Attachment types that are blocked

The attachment types that are blocked by this policy include the following:

ade, adp, apk, appx, appxbundle, bat, cab, cer, chm, cmd, com, cpl, dll, dmg, exe, hlp, hta, ins, iso, isp, jar, js, jse, lib, lnk, mde, msc, msi, msix, msixbundle, msp, mst, nsh, pif, ps1, pst, reg, scr, sct, shb, sys, tmp, url, vb, vbe, vbs, vxd, wsc, wsf, wsh, terminal, cod.

Apart from the above extensions, if the file type is a executable or a script or a code file, the file cannot be sent by email.

The emails with these attachments will not be Sent/ Received via Zoho Mail and will be bounced back. This also holds true if these file types are placed in a zip file. That is, even if one file among the many in a zip archive contains any of the above mentioned file types, it will not be sent/received via Zoho Mail.

So if you try to attach any one of these file types in an email, you will receive error messages while attaching the file and the email will not be sent to your recipient(s) and will remain in your outbox.

Hi there, no the icon doesn't show on the task bar unless i pin it.  Not sure how I check if it's running at all if it won't open.  i am sending the files you requested to the email address  - subject Derry McCormick host won't run.
Thanks

Hi there, did all that and reinstalled.  Turned Vipre off.  Installation seemed ok, but it still just shuts down after asking if it can make changes.  Tried stop and start - nothing.  Host settings does open and function, but the host itself won't run.

Hi there, I was using 6 which stopped working yesterday.  Went online and saw about the upgrade.  Upgraded - Viewer saw other computers online, but wouldn't let me do remote updates.  My own computer is both host and viewer.  Host doesn't work at all.  I upgraded and reinstalled twice locally.  Opens, asks to allow changes, I say yes and it shuts down again.

Neither older version or new upgrade today work.  Click on Host, asks if you will allow changes, say yes then it closes and nothing happens.  This on multiple computers.  Also viewer shows hosts online, but when you try to connect it says they are offline so can't update them either.
