Thank you very much for your help. It works now.

Neither of those suggestions work. Nothing happens when I double click start application and when I click on the index file I get - this file does not have a program associated with it to perform the action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Defau...

Jane, nothing happens.

Tatewise, I do not have start.exe, I just have data-file folder, autorun-Setup Information, fh-icon & start-Application.
If I open autorun it opens notepad with
[autorun]
open=start.exe
icon=fh.ico
and if I double click start nothing happens.

I do not have that option. All I have is 'install or run program from your media', 'run start.exe' & 'open folder to view files'. The only one that works is the last one, but that does not run the program, only lets me see what is on the disk.

I have just created a CD from FH when I run it on my Windows 7 laptop it runs OK. When I try to run it on my Windows 7 Desktop I get the message on the Auto Play window 'Run Start,exe - Publisher not specified'. On the laptop the 'Run Start.exe' has the following: file:///E:data/index.html. How can ...

I have now managed to get my Windows 7 Desktop CD Drive to be accessed from my Netbook, but when I run the CD Backed Installer from my Netbook, even though I can see the files on the CD I get a message on a small window called CD-Backed Install 'CD not found. Retry' then a message Installation Failed.

Tatewise, I have done that but the CD Drive does not appear on the Netbook with the other files and folders.

The Laptop with the CD Drive is 64-bit as is the Netbook. FH is version 2.1.6 and I have downloaded the Installer. I am having trouble sharing the CD Drive of the Laptop, I have done as suggested and the Laptop shows the Drive as being shared, but I can't find the Drive on the Netbook and when I ins...

I do have access to another Windows 7 computer with a CD Drive, but I can only share files not the drive. I have copied the CD to a file on the other computer, but it still won't load.

I do not have access to a usb CD Drive and I don't want FH 5, as I am very happy with the version I have.

I have just replaced my Laptop with a Net Book with no disk drive and would like to install Family Historian on it.  I have the disk for Version 2.1 and the Upgrade for version 3.0.0.  I have tried copying the disk on my external hard drive, but I can't get the programme to install.  Any ideas?

Thank you all very much, I have managed to get it to work.

That did not work either, same message as before. The computer is an HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook with a 64-bit operating system.

I tried your suggestion and got the message 'Path does not exist'

I looked at the program file and I have the following that start with fh they are: fh, FH, fh.xr & FHN.dll.

I have tried right click on the file and open with, but Family Historian is not on the list of programmes.

I loaded Version 3.0.0 Upgrade on Windows 7 after loading Version 2.1.6 and everything worked OK. I then loaded Version 3.1.2 Upgrade and the Icon in My Documents changed from the usual page with 3 green squares and when I tried to open nothing happened.  I can open my tree by opening a blank tree a...

Thank you

When using a descendant diagram with the SPOUSE IN OWN BOX button pressed there is no problem, but when I click the ONE BOX PER MARRIAGE button, the spouse box goes, but I am left with one box without the spouse details, just as though I had clicked on the NO SPOUSE INFO button.  Can anyone help? ID...

I have installed the upgrade 2.3 and I find when I produce a descendant outline report, generation 1 is Ok but generation 2 becomes 3 and 3 becomes 5 and so on.  All the generations are there but they have been given odd numbers only and the gaps between the verticle lines are twice as big.  Can you...
