Hi,

could some kind person please help?, I`m trying to install my new FTM 2010.

started off with the registeration, that was fine, next it went to do the Istall Shield wizard.......it stoppped for a while and then came up with this in a box

Microsoft Net framework 3.5 SP1 appears to have failed, do you want to continue the installation.....However when trying to continue it then tells me I can`t without the Net framework SP1


Took the Disc back out and started again but same thing happened.

Anyone have any ideas please?

It comes with 6 months free Ancestry access which is why I purchased it in the first place...!!

Could it be that you don't have Microsoft Net framework 3.5 SP1 on your computer?

Is your computer fully up to date with Windows Updates?

If you google it you can download it.

The only thing I can suggest is you contact Ancestry and ask their advice.

Hope you get it working , I have just sent for the 2010 version but I am on Vista

Thanks Jennifer, I will contact Ancestry tommorow, its in their inetrest to help me out, as FTM2010 comes with a free 6 months Essentials package, and i want to pay the difference to upgrade, so hopefully they`ll be able to help me sort it out.
