Hi Rob, Sorry for your problems with the upgrade--I haven't experienced those, because we're happy enough to just Save As PDF for the majority of our books. (I haven't printed to .ps since Adobe fixed the PDF issue a couple years back...) I'm writing again just to emphasize that my own problem wasn't really an upgrade failure, just a UBD problem (User Brain Dead). I've gotten used to double-clicking in a WinZip window to open files so I never save locally anymore, and just didn't snap <duh> that I should do so for an executable... Again, though, Adobe deserves some thanks, both to Kapil Verma, as you mentioned, and also to Vikram in TCS Support who was kind enough to contact me and get me sorted out. Hope you can solve your issues as quickly and easily!

To Gay: My sympathies on the upgrade failure. The first problem that we were not notified automatically when using the check for updates from FrameMaker itself. If it was not for this list I would never have known about the update. Thank you, Kapil Verma. Having said that I did successfully install the update. The new wrinkle in Winodows 7 was that two Adobe services have to be disabled or suspended. RS03 Middle tier service and RS03 Server service The second thing I did was to disable my Norton antivirus for one hour. Everything else was shut down. I then installed the update with no problem. However, the update does not fix all the big problems with FM11 book functions. Yes it does print to ps. However, over 1,000 pages print to ps was as unstable as before the update. FrameMaker 11 is a huge step forward in terms of integration with other TCS4, but FrameMaker 11.1must be able to perform its core book functions. Every hardcopy publisher I know must have perfect book print functions. I would also like to make a distinction between "crashes", when FM falls over and gives a message and the more dangerous "hang" where one saves the book and all the files and the blue circles keeps on turning without saving. Our attempts to have a real progress bar have come to naught. So FM11 does not print big books to ps and hangs while saving. Anyone know where are the sample scripts or instructions not in the help file for sure.
