Off hand, I would say you are right about the installation process. It makes sense, and you know a lot more about this stuff than I do.
What's weird is, my wife misplaced (lost) our FTM 2012 CD years ago. I originally had FTM 2012 on a Vista OS HP computer (still do) and used the backup flashdrive to load everything on this Windows 8.1 OS HP computer. FTM works fine. How, I do not know.
