No luck. In fact, my Windows computer insists that I need to first install Net 3.5 before I can install this file, which itself is Net 3.5.
My university tech guy has informed me that the problem is likely that the apps are using an older system (Net 3.5 is quite outdated), and that the problem is hopeless until they/you upgrade.
I hope this isn't the case because I spent this money, not them.
