.NET Framework Blocking Issues on Windows 7

If you are trying to install ROBOTILL on a Windows 7 computer and you are getting the '.NET Framework Blocking Issues' error or another message about the .NET Framework, follow the steps below: Run all outstanding Windows updates on your computer. Restart your computer and check that your computer is up to date - if not, repeat the first two steps.

It is only on Windows 7 that you might get problems with the .NET Framework install as the .NET Framework is automatically installed on Windows 10.

This usually only takes a couple of days - but for some reason this year it is taking much longer.  We are currently investigating why t...
