Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 FMS Lite Now Available

Has anybody been able to install or use this? I've been at it for over a few hours, and I haven't had success.

It doesn't seem to work on windows 7 (64 bit) with no service packs, and when I start the installer the error "a newer version of windows is required". The guide appears to install the software in windows 7, so I was wondering if anybody knew what service pack/version of windows is considered a "newer version".

Also, the installer fails to show .NET installation errors if they occur, fails to clean up after itself when canceled (you have to kill a few processes and delete a temporary directory), and sometimes fails to even cancel itself.

When running the application, I get a variety of unhandled exceptions, like this one, even when running as administrator:

Any suggestions?

I'd really like to play around with the software, but unfortunately it seems to be an unfinished project to me (the installer logo doesn't fit in the window, the license file says "put license here"...). I remember the old version of FMS lite being a bit better, but I can't find the download link anymore. Does anybody still have it?
