Pretty sure the problem is in the device and the download web site has nothing to see with this problem...have you tried different browsers, in private sessions, etc

Thanks I agree its the local device in this case.

I did try private in MS Edge- did not work - same error message.

Do you think I should try another browser? IE or Chrome or Firefox or ?

The platform on this device is Windows 10 and its updated.

Sincerely appreciate your support. Thank you.

      I tried Internet Explorer and in private mode of IE too- but could not download the file.

      So I tried Google Chrome and I could not install Google Chrome either - same type of error message.

      Thereafter I tried Firefox and was able to download the Build 18KB Application Manif file from the SharePoint Migration tool site; which after clicking on the downloaded file did not open Migration tool and gave the same original error.

      Thus, it is not the browser but something on the local device which is restricting the installation of this file.

      I suspect its windows rights management issue but don't know where to look for it?

      (1) Any suggestion which browser to try?

      (2) Is there a way to download the application in one device and then copy the executable file into the device which cannot run from the SharePoint Migration tool site?
