There is no install on the workshop manaul.
Its downloads as a compress file. Then click or double click to open. Then you will see

What operating system you using?

Just looked at @Fu Manchu new download link. That may be the problem. It's not in a folder? I'll download & check it. Report back later, after l've downloaded, & checked the folder out.

Report back later, after l've downloaded, & checked the folder out.
1st file size is 886 MB 2nd file is 1.8 GB
I downloaded the files. 1st time 14.8 MB. 2ND time same? Deleted both files & started again. TRhis time l stayed on the download link & walked away. Came back 2 hrs later. Check download folder, It had created 2 files. 1st file looked like it was going to like normal. Would open files ok the section of different models (vt - vz), wouldn't open any files after that. So l noticed if l unpack the files (decompress) the files would work ok? This time, some file you could open, but other you couldn't.

I will try @Fu Manchu new download file?

yeah I've downloaded the new folder but it compresses when it downloads as you say. once zipped folder is on desktop I "extract all" to decompress. Same deal as the beginning, I can open all sub folders and docs and view everything but the index / hyperlink system doesn't work so you cant find what your looking for.

also had the same thing as you that it downloads 2 slightly different folders for some reason.

I've started the download, went & checked & 2 folders again. One folder is 267 MB. The 2nd is still downloading.
I'll cancel the download.

I think I have a copy anyway, wanted to check if same. But it just says i don't have permission to view, and no signs of massive file attached. I guess it's what you are seeing too.
