I think what happened I somehow snatched up the wrong installer or something...
I used my Windows install cleaner, ran a system restore, updated my .Net and then extracted the proper installer from the ISO.
I found it odd that they would provide an ISO for apparently "limited" software. Thought it would be a 1 time installer type deal with the student account.
Anyways it's on - not sure if I like the UI, feels like any other Open Source program.
DO you know if there is a Vector based option with Blend(sketchflow) or Design?
I guess I'm spoiled with my PS 7.....eh.
