In that screen if you click on the button it will not work, I think it is a bug. this problem will appear in XP also...

But, If you Press the ENTER Button in the Keyboard it will go to next screen. and you can continue installation successfully..

I hope this will help you :)

It worked................. But how did people figure it???????

I has been a pain in *** all day long. I kept installer running all day long and hoped it will proceed :D OMG I can't believe it.

Thank You so Much Prasad. I was dumb to figure that out :P.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. The setup development team has fixed this issue and it will be available in the next release of Blend.

As Christopher mentioned "The setup development team has fixed this issue and it will be available in the next release of Blend." Pressing enter should continue with the installation.

Thanks,

Hi,

in the following screen
```
 http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/9942/blend3setup.png
```
the problem is when the user clicks on the area - "button kind of highlighted area [expression blend 3] along with the checkbox and image".

it should proceed with next screen, at present if user clicks on any number of times in that area which resembles like a button - it will not work.... is this issue fixed ?

if user should click only the enter key y to proceed to the next screen then there is no message "Press Enter Key To Continuee..." , so that user will not know that he should press enter key from the keyboard...
