Hi everyone
I have been trying to download and install the latest version of IBM I Access Client solutions for a while, with no success
Well - my windows 7 pc of many years is now slowly breaking down
Knowing how things go - it will probably break at EXACTLY the time that I need to access the AS/400
So I have been given a brand new pc - Windows 10
I have NOW been able to download and install the latest (I believe) version of IBM I Access Client Solutions (64-bit) Version 1.1.8.2 Build id: 9170
And I have been able to create access to both the production system AND development system
I have also created access in the 5250 session manager for both systems
The problem I am having is that when I right click each of those icons in the 5250 session manager to copy to desktop,
I can click the desk top icons -but they do NOT work
I receive a window asking me
How do you want to open this file?
Look for an app in the Microsoft Store
It looks like the desktop icon has created something with .HOD
In other words
Systemname.hod
I am assuming I have missed something
Can anyone give me any pointers?
