Windows 7 compatilbility for FrameMaker 8

[Mike Wickham]

There was some issues with installing FrameMaker 8 to XP computers with 
SP3. Adobe issued a new installer to fix this. (It was issued during 
FM9's reign, so after the fact.) Since it sounds like you installed 
Windows 7 as an upgrade on some computers and a fresh install on 
another, perhaps the version of installer files you are using makes a 
difference. Here is a link to the updated FM8 installer: 
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4549. Perhaps 
using it instead of original installer disks will make a difference.

I also seem to remember reading reports of some installation ills that 
were fixed by copying the installation files to the hard disk and 
installing from there, instead of from the CD. Perhaps that is all you 
need to do.
