Original Problem
This legacy setup thread preserves the earliest how-to friction around downloading and launching the AuditMyPC sitemap generator itself. Instead of crawl logic, it captures issues like expired signing certificates, blocked launches, and getting stuck at the initial download step.
It should stay a standalone legacy thread because its value is historical workflow context, but it overlaps enough with broader sitemap intent that it needs careful positioning.
Selected Useful Comments
- One user reports an expired electronic-signature warning during download.
- A support reply confirms the warning came from the author's expired certificate rather than from the sitemap file itself.
- Another follow-up preserves the odd launch symptom where the page only displayed a message telling the user to log out of their website, followed by a reboot-based workaround.
Editor Context
This thread is useful for preserved launch and download symptom wording, not for current sitemap tooling advice or for reviving obsolete Java-era browser behavior.
