*Note for installation of SFT:

SFT works fine in Windows 7 and Windows 8. Windows 7 had a problem with installing certain apps using its “Windows on Windows" system. Here is the workaround.

After installing SFT, search your Windows system folders for where the file grid32.ocx was installed. If you do not find it, let me know. If you do find it, do the following:
(1) Note which directory where grid32.ocx is installed (it might be windows\system32 and/or windows\sysWOW64).
(2) Open a command window (run as Administrator) and change directory to the directory where it was installed (preferably sysWOW64).
(3) Type the command "regsvr32 grid32.ocx" (without the quotes).
(4) The system should reply with a popup message saying that the file was successfully registered.
(5) If the file was in the system32 directory and regsvr32 failed, then try copying the file to the sysWOW64 directory and run regsvr32 there.
(5) Then try running SFT.
(6) Depending on how your system was installed, you may have to set the 32-bit compatibility mode* (see below).


32-bit compatibility mode:
(1) Browse your Program Files folder for “Program Files\KWare\SFT” and right click on the file “SFT.exe.”
(2) Select properties from the drop down menu.
(3) Look for the compatibility tab, and under compatibility mode check run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows XP Service Pack 3.
(4) Further down on the tab check the box "run this program as administrator".
(5) Click on change settings for all users if multiple people will run this program using different logins and click on OK at the bottom.
(6) Now try it by just double-clicking the exe file.
