Upgrading to Windows Vista

[Kicker3]

I'm trying to install FM Pro Advanced 8.5 on a new laptop, my 8.5 advanced is a upgrade ver, so I installed 7.0 pro then upgraded to 7.3, now my problem is when I try to install 8.5 advanced it says: A qualifying product has not been found....

even when i put in my product key & where the folder is that has 7.3 , It still says A qualifying product has not been found.

Can anyone help me?

I believe the Pro -> Advanced upgrade was only available for a few months... I think you need Dev 7 to upgrade to 8.5 Advanced - Double Check what your label includes as qualifying products.

Yes you were right I installed Dev. then 8.5  & it all installed as it should. Thanks

I am having the same problem trying to install filemaker pro v7 on my new laptop with Vista.

My v7 is an upgrade version that took me from

v5.5 to v7, and has installed and ran fine

since 2004 on my XP based system. I even had to

to do a reinstall of v5.5 and v7 after intstalling

a new C drive a couple years ago.

I have successfully installed and am using v5.5

on the Vista system but cannot get V7 to recognize

my v5.5 as a qualifying product even when I point

out the folder or enter the installation code/key

for v5.5.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks,
