I bought a Windows 10 laptop the other day and just tried installing Sibelius 6. But I get an error stating, "The Microsoft .NET framework must be installed for Sibelius 6 to run correctly." So I did a Google search and tried installing the .NET framework, only to encounter another error stating I already have it installed.
I'm out of ideas, so I hope someone out there knows what the problem is. any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

There are several versions of .net framework. Your laptop should have the latest, but Sib 6 isn't looking for that. If the Sib installer offered to download it for you, try that. Beware that vs 6 is not supported on W10. It should run OK, but Avid support can't help if you have problems.
