Installing ROBOGUIDE on Windows 8/10 versions:
A prerequisite for the installation of ROBOGUIDE is the .NET 3.5 framework. The framework is considered to be a
Windows feature in Windows 8/10 versions, and therefore installed by the operating system.
When running the ROBOGUIDE installer on Windows 8/10 version*, the operating system will interrupt the
installer when the .NET 3.5 framework is being processed and prompt the user to obtain the files over the
Internet, or via the installation disk. If you have an Internet connection, select "Install this Feature" and proceed
with the installation. The ROBOGUIDE setup may need to be restarted after the installation of the .NET 3.5
framework. If you do not have an Internet connection, select "Skip this Installation".
To install the .NET 3.5 framework with the Windows 8/10 disk, go to the Windows start screen and right click on
any open space, selecting "All apps" on the menu at the bottom of the screen. On the Apps screen find the
"Windows System" group and right click on "Command Prompt". Select "Run as administrator". In the command
prompt window, type in the following:
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:d:\sources\sxs
where "d" is the DVD drive that contains the Windows 8/10 disk
