Just downloaded Version3.043.066 and installed it, my question is this,
the install seems to have loaded a lot more files into the main Mach3 folder then any of my previous installs,
a bunch of mfc8 files, a bunch txt files and files that make no sense, anyone know why this is ?

i purchased a mach3 license code and my windows xp computer says it is a  :dat file " and the computer says it does not have a program to open the dat file.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi Mike,
  You don't have to open it, just put it in the Mach3 folder.
It will be recognized by the Mach3 software.
