download manager version will not download the program pauses and shows 0% progress clicking continue does nothing.

some of the components that came with it will download but not the main program or Izotope RX 10 elements. sent off an email to magix but no response.

@TheFlinx Response can take some days. When did you send the e-mail?

I'm pretty sure your Firewall blocks the download. Add an exception role for the installer or disable the firewall temporarily.

ok so get this...

I checked in Settings/widows security/virus & threat protection/ransomware protection and sure enough the download manager/installer was trying to do something in my profile folders and windows was blocking it. attempts to unblock the folders failed nor was allowing programs through working either.

I had to disable controlled folder access for the install to work. so uh yeah it installed. thanks.

I would still like the offline installer for when magix goes out of business.

@TheFlinx The files are stored under C:\Users\YourWindowsUsername\Documents\Magix Downloads\Installationsmanager

But you need an online connection to unlock the software, there is no offline activation for Sound Forge.

thank you I got the files, it's not that I want to install the files without internet it's that I want the files. because of the issues I was having.

@TheFlinx

Look in the location which @SP. gave you. All the installation files will be there and can be copied to wherever you want to store them.
