Veracrypt problem

Hi, can anybody help me with this one. I installed Veracrypt yesterday
and went to double the icon on the desktop but nothing happened, can't
seem to figure this out. Have right clicked on properities and checked
the box for RUN AS PROGRAM but nothing happened afterword.
Any help would be appreciated.

Where did you download it from and how did you install it (there are separate console and gui installs to do)?

Also, what distro and desktop environment are you using?

I downloaded it from https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/

The version gui x86 - mint 17 64bit - xfce

Ok, here's how I did it (Mint 17.3 Xfce):

. Downloaded veracrypt-1.17-setup.tar.bz2 ("VeraCrypt Linux Setup 1.17") from https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/releases to Desktop

. Right-click on veracrypt-1.17-setup.tar.bz2->Extract here

. Double-click on veracrypt-1.17-setup to enter the folder, then right-click on the folder contents->Open in terminal

. In terminal: ./veracrypt-1.17-setup-console-x64, then "1", accept licence etc...

. as above for ./veracrypt-1.17-setup-gui-x64

. VeraCrypt is now available and working in the system menu section Accessories

Also, it may help to run veracrypt from the command line.
