[31.01.07] Download pages being updated
For data security reasons we no longer provide self-extracting archives (*.exe) containing the software installation packages. We are replacing these EXE-archives with the corresponding ZIP-archives. Please have patience, if a replacement for the installation package you need have not yet been performed (this may be true for some older installation packages). You are of course welcome to contact us on this issue.
