[Framers] How Install FrameMaker Update Patches on Old FM Versions?

[Ragnar Hanås]

I have been using FM 7.2 with Win 10 for almost a year now without problems. There are 2 patches, and which you should install depends on which version of FM 7.2 you are installing. I can't remember exactly what I did, but got it working after some experimenting. Even less crashes than with Win 8.1

I do not think Frame 7.2 is supported on Windows 10.

I used it on Vista! With a windows XP emulator (of some type)
