Assuming you installed in the default location, the web links try to run "C:\Program Files (x86)\MX Simulator\mx.exe". So your exe has to have that exact name. Note that file explorer hides the .exe extension by default, so it will show as an application named "mx" there.

If you email, put "MX Simulator" in the subject to make sure it gets through my spam filter.

Open a file explorer. Open the "C" drive. Open "Program Files (x86)". Open "MX Simulator". Rename the snapshot executable to "mx".
