small basic and windows 8

Hi  Everyone,

I'm William, but just call me Bill.

I recently installed small basic on a windows 8 laptop.  I now have windows 8.1.

I became a member of the facebook group of small basic enthusiasts, and noticed several were having problems installing and using small basic on windows 8.

I told them they needed the 3.5 .net framework, but when I searched for the .NET framework in my control panel I found 4.5 and 4.5.1

Would it be correct to say they need to install the 3.5 even if they have the 4.5?

Small Basic is great, runs well for me; and is not a toy at all like the first basic I used 40 years ago.

Are there any other suggestions you can offer?

Thanks for your help.
