OK, but the download wont start.
The first page leads me to a second
Then it wont start even though I click on download
No warnings are given re: pop up or download
 
sometimes depending on your security settings there will be an information bar blinking at top of page and you will have to click on it to give permission to download file.
 
if once it is installed you might get a message that you need to update your installer, which I beleive is at 4.5 version, I will find the link for you.
