Just downloaded the Plan-G 3.1.2 - specifically the (top) one ie for Win7.
Unlocked, unzipped and changed to 'Run As Admin'
Hit "set-up", but got an immediate error message.....
"This program does not support the version of Windows your computer is running"!
Any thoughts??

A couple of hours ago I almost did the same without any problems. I assume that you first unzipped the setup executable, then right clicked on it, and finally selected "run as administrator".

Before trying it again please check the readme.txt file and look for the PREREQUISITES section in it. If there is no requirement regarding .Net Framework 4.5.1 you might have downloaded the wrong version by mistake. You did not write whether you've had the previous version already installed as this would proof that everything is all-right. If not you might want to consider the installation hints regarding the location.

Thank you, Axel.
I have been using Plan-G for many years now (it's such a valuable programme to enhance our simulations!)
I am indeed running Win7.   The earlier version (which actually alerted me to the updated version), dated 24/07/14, is on my C-drive.
Yes I unzipped and ran the new exe (3.1.2.101-w7) dated 05/01/15 as Administrator....hence my clear surprise at the strange message!!

(Later)  FOUND IT !!!!!!
What a silly billy I am......
I had set to run as admin in compatibility mode, but ....for WinXP !!!
That'll teach me.....
Shan't do THAT again.   Just shows that we can all make soppy errors (especially if we THINK we know what we're doing!)
Sorry I ever doubted you, Tim.
