That throws an error.

However, Speed Figs' approach came through.

Brisnet.com go to more, click free software, click Custom PP Generator Software and right click download and save link as... will work.

It didn't for me, but thank you.

Maybe you have to be signed in first?

Hmmm....I downloaded the PP Gen but haven't tried to use it until yesterday, and my machine won't open it.

Says I need a certain app??
I really should educate myself further about computers as I don't know squat about figuring these things out.

Is it saying you are missing PP2b.TTF?

It says something to the tune of: you are trying to use an app that Microsoft doesn't support or certify or recognize and then offers to transfer me to the app store.

I emailed BRIS a couple of times and we cannot get it to load/open properly.
My computer also tells me I don't have permission to save the program to my C Drive, and wants to send it to Folder 15042.

The whole thing is a mess.
Whatever - it's too much of a pain in the ass. I'm not in the mood to spend an hour or two on the phone with them to try to fix it either.
I give up

You may need to run it as administrator.

I've tried that.
I cannot open the program no matter what I try, and no matter what the BRIS tech guy tells me to try.
I can't save it to the C Drive either.

Done

For the first part when you get the “The app you’re trying to install isn’t a Microsoft-verified app” message, there should be an Install Anyway button. If not then you have to change where to get the apps from.

In Windows 11 go to
Settings
Apps
Advanced App Settings

Choose where to get apps. At the end of the line, there's a drop down menu with 4 settings. Your probably have the bottom one "Microsoft Store Only", The top selection "Anywhere" should work". The other two give you a warning before allowing the install.

In Windows 10 or older this may be under Apps and Features.

For the 2nd probably here's a google search link with some solutions and videos:

"You don't have permission to save the program to my C drive"

I appreciate your help, but under the Advanced App Settings there is no 'Choose Where To Get Apps' tab anywhere. All it has is:

Share Across Devices
App Execution Aliases
Archive Apps

I accessed the Help feature on my computer and it told me to find that same 'Choose Where To get Apps' tab also.
I don't know where it is.

Thanks for your help KyRacer

What version of Windows are you using? Also you might try putting it on a usb drive and installing it from there or installing it on the usb drive.

Here's another link if it's not windows 11

It should be right above Share Across Devices. If you're not seeing it and with the other problems of not being able to install the program it seems like you may not have administrative privileges. Just a guess.
