When I try to do this procedure when I carry out step 3 it asks me Are You
Sure (Y/n) and when i tell it yes it tells me it cannot find the file!

I have been trying to resolve this issue for which there appear to be a
number of suggested solutions but none of which work!

I have gone through the INternet Options, Tools etc.... and it doesn work
