Notes- Due to the large size of the installation it is advisable not to work with other programs during the installation process – it is known to have caused faulty installations
- The installation of part 2 will appear frozen shortly at 1% and for a longer period at 99% - this is due to large files being processed. Do not interrupt the progress!
