    1. The installation process may prompt to install .NET 3.5, which is a requirement for kwiklook. Please allow the installation to download and install .NET 3.5.
       1. Note: If installing kwiklook on a Windows Server, the .NET 3.5 installation may fail as .NET 3.5 needs to be installed via the Server Management window. Please click here for instructions on how to install .NET 3.5 on a Windows Server.
    2. The installation process may require your PC or Server to be rebooted. This reboot may be required to complete the installation. If the installation process asks you to reboot the PC or Server more than twice then the installation might need to be aborted due to Microsoft SQL Server 2012 SP3 Express not installing correctly.
