29 Feb 2012 - at last a response from Tech Support!
I received a survey email this morning, asking for an evaluation of the service level. I was polite but basically asked how I could be expected to evaluate since 2 weeks had passed and nothing had been done!

So, a few minutes ago, I received a response from the original Tech person J******:

"Thank you for contacting Family Tree Maker.

In order to correct this you will need to uninstall the program and reinstall the update. If the update still does not install properly you may need to manually install it using the instructions in the link below:

Gotta love it - not!
