Perhaps you want to take this up with the MVP lead and let him get the right
people in touch with you regarding this.

Thanks. It looks like I already had downloaded that file. I re-downloaded it
and ran it again to verify where it was installing to. But now I get a
message telling me the program has stopped working. I get this message
whether I choose the Repair or Uninstall option.

Anyway, I'm extremely busy and have spent too much time on this already.

Thanks for your help.

Actually, I did figure this out. I used Control Panel to uninstall the
samples and then reinstalled it. After looking around a while, I found the
new installation does include feature pack samples.

The RibbonGadgets is a great example and covers all the stuff I've been
wondering about for a while.

Thanks again!

You're welcome. I'm glad you got it working in the end.
