Important notice
Unity Pro requires .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.5.2
Depending on the target Windows version and Windows configuration, .Net versions may be
      - not installed
      - installed but not enabled ( the related "windows feature"  is not set ON )
      - installed and enabled
 
Unity Pro setup tries to automatically install and enable the required .Net  on the target Windows if necessary.
 
On Windows 10 and Windows Server 2012 R2, automatic or manual installation of .Net 3.5 requires an internet connection.
And service “Windows Update” must be started in order to install the .NET Framework 3.5.
 
If automatic installation of  .Net 3.5  fails, please read & follow  Microsoft technical notes on .NET 3.5 installation:
 
      - Installing the .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8 or 8.1

Check the directory c:\UnityProTemp (Hidden directory) has the following rights: Read, Execute and Write.
 
If these paths are not accessible an error message will appear and the requested operation will fail


-       Access rights & Multi instances : As some components are shared, when several instances of Unity Pro are launched, rights access must be the same on all the instances
-       In Windows 7 , if UAC (User Account Control) is set, and if Unity Pro is executed without checking "Run as Administrator", system folders can be only be accessed in read only and FFB Libset can not be modified.
-       Start Menu: following short cuts must be executed with “Run as Administrator”:
