  1. Old Installer Reviver never launches the setup, Windows 10, Reviver V4.28 Home User License. Is there a new fix since this post last December? Where do I go for support for this expensive Longbow software?

    • Most likely anti-virus us preventing the reviving process. Windows 10 comes with its own anti-virus built in, you can whitelist a software or its folder.
