** WMT 3.2.1 - Release June 2013
	
IMPORTANT NOTE: I've received reports that v3.2.1 for the Mac won't launch correctly. I will resolve this ASAP.	
	
Windows 
-------
** Install
    * Run the WMT-3.2.1_setup.exe program.
    

Mac OSX 
-------

    * Using the Finder, copy the WMT app from the WMT-3.2.1.dmg file to the Applications folder or the desktop.
    * Note: don't run WMT from within the .dmg file, otherwise you may see the following alert message:
	"Warning - could not install some modules: Emxsys - License - The module org.netbeans.core/ide/1 was needed and not found."

** Security Settings
    * When you attempt to open the WMT app, you may see the following alert message:
