Meeting Schedule Assistant uses DLLs to send your schedule data (whether from within one of the editors or from a saved report document) to the Microsoft Google or Outlook calendars.
These DLLs require the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 or higher to be installed on your computer. The installer would have tried to determine if this software was required and should have offered to download it from the Microsoft website. So if you encounter problems, then please check to see that you have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 or higher installed.
