Recently, I decided to add the Weather Channel to my Windows 8 laptop.  So, I went out to the Weather Channel web site to download the desktop app.  But to my dismay, as soon as I selected the app. for Windows 8, Windows popped me to the Windows app. store.

From the app. store, Windows offered me a selection of weather apps.  And, when I chose the Weather Channel app., it said that it was loading it but nothing happened.

After several tries, I went back to the Weather Channel web site and chose the app. for Windows 7 instead of 8.  Once I did that, the app. loaded normally and worked just fine.
