Hi, I am trying to download Collector on a Windows device that does not have access to the App store or Google Play. I went here http://appsforms.esri.com/products/download/index.cfm?fuseaction=download.main&downloadid=2084 and downloaded the Collector_for_ArcGIS_Windows_1801.exe file and tried to install it on my computer. Once the install was complete however, no app was created on my computer. Instead I have a folder named Collector_Windows with 46 files in it (see attached photo) where the application should be saved. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this? I am hoping I can get this figured out before an internal client spends money on a Windows based mobile device.  We are using ArcGIS Enterprise, by the way.

Thanks,

Blythe Spendlove

Do you have access to the Windows Store? The primary way to get the app is there: Get Collector for ArcGIS - Microsoft Store

I do not, it is a company managed device and the Windows Store is blocked.

As an update to this:
A co-worker was able to install Collector from the install file we got online, so I compared apps with her and figured out that my computer didn't know how to read the main install file. I am coming back to this after a couple months but I believe it was Nodejs that I had to install on my computer, in order to install Collector.
