Give us a bit more info, for example what version of Windows are you using?

Normally you just double-click on the D-Mod icon and DFArc will install it. There are other ways if that isn't working... not sure why it wouldn't though.

Sounds like vista or win 7 control issue - if it is denying you access - can u change your control settings??

Not sure how thats working; my own vista doesn't do that to me.
Are you on an administrative account?

@MsDink:
That's not the same problem, thats LOCATING the Dmods.
The problem here is generally installing them.

Try reinstalling Dink to a location OUTSIDE of C:/Program Files.

Try watching the download... Could be that your internet connection is somehow responsible. I remember having a problem like that before. Seen here.
When you download again, watch the progress bar and the filesize. Make sure its the actual filesize stated.

A .dmod file is actually a .tar.bz2 compressed file, so you could try unpacking it with something like 7-Zip and then just dragging it into your Dink folder.
