I have had other people saying that they delete the 'ver.dll' first. This works, and is probably simpler. When I have tested it, I can click OK and it bi-passes this error and carries on with the setup. It all depends, I think, on your own individual configuration. (I will be looking into this, but I am reluctant to try and modify the way that Microsoft have designed their setup routine.) Of course I cannot agree that your download time was wasted!! You just wait and see! You may also be interested to know that I am already in the process of modifying the date format following an enquiry from the US. It will very shortly be able to accept both 'dd-mm-yy' AND 'mm-dd-yy'. At present, it will not allow the US date format. If you have any suggestions for your own training scheme, I am open to new ideas. Cheers, Iain
