Cannot install Simpson door catalog

What is this?  What did I do wrong?  I only got to this when doing what I always do when downloading Chief content.  Within the Xwhatever app, do "get additional content," then wait for the download complete message, then do the install selecting the .calib file from my downloads folder.  I do the routine today, in the X18 app, selecting the catalog for X18, and if I do in answer to "what do you want to do with this," select OPEN, and what happens?  Chief opens X17 and then flashes me this message.

 

I have tried catalog after catalog, and am seeing no .calib files appearing in my downloads.

Windows will open the .calib to whatever is set as your default application - it sounds like this is X17, and the catalog you downloaded was for X18.

 

You can associate .plan, .layout, .calib, .calibz and .caproj extension with X18 by going to Preferences -> General -> File Management -> Associate Files With This Program...

Or, right click a .calib in Windows Explorer, Open With -> Choose Another App... Select X18 and choose "Always".

Also of note:

the (1) at the end of the file name denotes that it is a copy

citing the "this has an invalid version number and cannot be read"

it MAY have an incorrect MD5

this MAY or MAY NOT have something to do with it
