Hi guys, I hope this is the correct thread for this. We are currently in the process of upgrading all our machines to Windows 7 from XP. Most of the software we have tested seems to work fine, although some of our older software is having issues. One in particular is ProDesktop 2000i2. We don't have the budget to upgrade sadly so we are stuck with it.
Although I've seen various posts online saying people are having a couple of issues actually running the program (and various responses about fixing the issues) I've yet to see any posts regarding actually installing the program. Whenever we try to install the program onto a windows 7 machine we get the 'Checking OS, Checking Windows Installer, Configuring Windows Installer...' set up screen and then nothing, the actual program install never starts.
Has anyone else come across this issue and is there a work around for it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Craig
Re: ProDesktop 8, Windows 7, extrusion problems. Having done some more searching on the web I've come across a solution which appears to work for us. I had to login to a machine as admin, run ProDesktop, disable graphics hardware acceleration, Open a New Design, create an extrusion, then close the program without saving. Learn Pro-desktop Check out the online tutorials and learn pro-desktop. Download acrobat reader Prodesktop.net More tutorial and information from the Prodesktop active user community. View the prodesktop.net site. And you need to do more with Pro/DESKTOP you can move onto Pro/ENGINEER. Pro/ENGINEER is the big brother of Pro/DESKTOP.
