Windows 7 compatilbility for FrameMaker 8

[Art Campbell]

I believe if you visit the Frame Download page, there's a patched install
for 8 available that's likely to be lots fresher than the disks you have...

Also, the first couple of things that occurred to me about working with the
disks you have: are that the person who ran the installation a.) didn't
have local admin rights on the PC, b.) Didn't run the installation routine
as Administrator, and/or c.) didn't set the W7 compatibility mode to XP
when they ran the installation.
