How to register FrameScript to a FrameMaker installation on Windows 11

Hi,

I have a new laptop with Windows 11 and want to install also FrameScript.

The first part works: Downloaded FrameScript from here: https://framescr.com/wb/downloads.html

Then installed it as Administrator.

And then I got a list with all FrameMaker installations (in my case only FM 18).

(This is just RegEsl7A.exe. I ran it also separately as Administrator.)

However, I cannot select FrameMaker 18.

The other buttons (Select All, Register Selected Installations) cannot be clicked.

What could I do?

On my old laptop with FrameMaker 18 on Windows 10 this had worked.

Best regards, Winfried

    Rick suggested to add this line to the maker.ini:

    [APIClients]
    fsl=TakeControl,FrameScript,c:\Program Files (x86)\ElmSoft\ElmScript7\fsl7_170_64_4.dll,all

    When I did this, I got the regular Activation dialog. When I entered the numbers, FrameScript was correctly activated.

    Rick, thank you very much for your fast help! Perfect!

    Best regards, Winfried
