Oh, and I recommend changing the discussion topic from "Family Tree Maker 2012" to "Family Tree Maker 2012 Won't Start" so others with the same problem can more easily find it.

Thanks for the info. I'll give that a shot and report back. But when I uninstall anything I use revo uninstaller then go in and delete everything left behind.

People have mentioned using Revo before, but it doesn't delete the files causing the problem. I'm not familiar with it myself, but I do know some workarounds for this problem, if you can run from...

Okay, this is pointing more and more to a problem with the app itself, and I think your noticing the .NET update may be a good clue. (Yes, it's a .NET app.) Perhaps try rolling that back or...
