Hi Mark, Try http://root.bnl.gov/QtRoot/downloads/ROOT305.exe from http://root.bn.gov How to upgrade: If you want to upgrade your local ROOT version that had been installed from http://root.bnl.gov Web site, you may not have uninstalled the obsolete one. Instead you can: - select the new version - select "Repair" to replace your current installation with a brand new one. Note: Since ROOT ACliC service can not handle properly the file names with the space inside you are advised to select some no-standard directory (that has no space in the path" rather c:/"Program Files" Please let me know about any problem with the installation.
