Two components are required to install and run Floor Framing, Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable 
Package (x86) and Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 SP1.  The installation program will notify
you if these componenets are not present on your system and guide you to the web to find the components.
