Downloading DnaSP Using Safari Browser (Macintosh)

Safari browser does not recognize the *.msi extension and, instead of downloading the package, opens it as plain text. Please, use another browser to download DnaSP.

DnaSP does not run in Windows Vista

1. If there is already installed an old DnaSP version. Remove the old DnaSP version (clicking in the new downloaded *.msi package) and selecting Remove DnaSP.
2. Install the new DnaSP version with
administrator privileges. Execute again the downladed *.msi package, and select installing DnaSP (new version).
