Q.
IMesh Light annnounces it has completed some downloads ... yet when I try to locate them on my hard drive, they are nowhere to be found. I've looked in the directory I specified for downloads & in c:\My Downloads. I've also used Windows search using all possible parameters

It's something wrong with the installer. go to where your download folder should be and you'll see a file with the same name as your folder (your folder won't be there.) delete that file and make a new folder for your downloads and they'll work from now on.
