I had the same issue with Refox last time I needed it and ended up setting up a Windows 7 sandboxed virtual machine on my linux desktop just for Refox. I could never get Windows 10 to open it, and I wasn't totally sure there was not a real threat with Refox so better to be safe than sorry. If anybody else has an easier solution I'd love to hear it. Paul if you don't get anywhere with Tracy's solution and would like some help or would like me to decompile on my Windows 7 machine I am happy to. -Jeff
