- some programs you can download and run, but some just download. I think this might be an issue in the app. Generally the first app you select you can download and run. the rest in the que will just download.
- if you download more than 1 program, they will all download but on the first one will run automatically
- when the program is download the button in the list will change to run
- the app requires admin privaledges to run. a note is that if you primary account is not an administrator account you will be prompeted to enter an adminstrator accoutn details and the filehippo app will set the default download directory in that admin accoutn and not yours
