  1. Hi,

    I have completed the setup but on clicking the Pardot I am getting the Spinner continuously. Please help me with that

  2. When I try to install Pradot in the full sandbox, it throws an error.

    Your request to install package “Pardot Pardot Package v4.96” was unsuccessful. None of the data or setup information in your salesforce.com organization was affected.

    If your install continues to fail, contact Salesforce CRM Support through your normal channels and provide the following information.
