Perhaps Chessbase had a faulty one at their url and replaced it with the correct one later. I have found that sometimes Chessbase makes corrections to their download versions but says nothing about it. There does seem to be somekind of a mystery at times. When I had both Exchess and Crafty15.20 running at the same time (in that sequence)both showed on the screen but only Exchess showed its calculation. When I reversed the sequence with Crafty first and Exchess second both showed calculations. So, I don't know. But you should try downloading again. Good luck! Jay
