I have tried to download the Thompson Chain Reference          to my PC to use in E-sword.   

 

The downloaded file seems very small ,  610 kb, and when I try to open it I get the message that there is a problem and telling me to re-load it, which I have done 5 times, without resolving the problem.  I cannot locate it in my e-source Downloads.

 

Any ideas please?

The file you downloaded is a self contain executable (exe) file you need to run the exe file in order to correctly install the Thompson Chain Reference in your e-Sword folder

I tried installing TCR on my PC eSword but I am pretty dull-minded when it comes to installing anything on a computer and was hoping someone could walk me through it on Zoom call, screen share. I have the file in my download folder and I double clicked it and seemed to "install" but doesn't show up on eSword under bibles or reference.

If you've got it installed, check your dictionaries window. It is not the full Thompson Chain Reference Bible (that would be just a Bible, KJV, etc.), but the Thompson Chain Reference Notes only - and it is formatted as a dictionary. Click on a word, and see the TCR entry. Look for the dictionary tabbed "TCR."

Because the file was submitted to Bible Support in the year 2011, which is BEFORE the designer of e-Sword [Rick Meyers], created a difference between user file folder, and e-Sword Resource file folder, with e-Sword version 10.4 in July 2014, there is a built in problem with the Thompson Chain Reference TCR.dctx.exe  file. It is ESSENTIAL that you change the target folder into which the file is saved. I recommend that you download the thompson_chain_reference_tcr.dcti  option, instead of the Thompson Chain Reference TCR.dctx.exe option if you are using e-Sword for Windows version 11 or later.
