Also if you search the registry for "dassault" using regedit you should find a number of entries.Īssuming it has installed it may be worth trying to uninstall it, delete all registry entries concerning dassault (unless you have Solidworks installed!) and try again installing from a new download. you should find an entry in the start menu labelled "Dassault Systemes" and under that "Draftsight 64". I have Draftsight 64 working on both my Linux and W10 partitions on a laptop without NVIDIA graphics. You haven't said what operating system you are using so I guess it's W10.

Try it again, I just did on my work PC and everything seems to be OK now. I'll report when I've either fixed it or blown the laptop up!

I'm waiting my computer savvy friend getting home form work before I mess with that. They don't really offer a tech support for the free product, hardly surprising as they don't make any money out of it, but they have sent me a set of instructions which involve renaming various files and fiddling with the registry.

Only afterwards did I notice the download file was smaller than it should have been.Īlso, watch during the install process - some programs install 'pre-requisites' during the installation process and may need to seek permission to do so, if the yes/no dialogue times out, you are left with critical stuff missing. With another CAD system I've seen an incomplete download appear to install, but the program didn't run. Just found out that Dassault have an office in my home town, so I'll ring them tomorrow. When I right click the desktop it doesn't mention NVidia. Thanks Phil, but it doesn't seem to help me either. John, I've checked my account and I seem to be an administrator. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, it went through all the steps you would expect, same problem

John, I think it has installed, it took a while to download/install, and I have have icons.

it caught me out when I forgot and installed this years update. The installer must be run as administrator. Some program's must be installed with administrator privileges turned on.Īutocad for instance. Could be that their authorisation server is down for some reason? I've had that occasionally but it has worked OK when I tried a few days later. You have to tell it, can't remember how, that you don't want nannying with that particular application! I find that Norton won't install certain apps first time after downloading because they are very seldom used across the whole user base and it thinks they may be malware. It may be that your antivirus doesn't like it. If you still have a copy of the old version, that might still work. guys will get an answer from support next week. Is it something I said? Can't ring them till Monday and I'm an impatient so and soĮxactly the same happened to me at work this week, we use Solidworks 3D and therefore have a service contract with them, so hopefully our I.T.

I've just tried downloading the 64 bit version onto my whizzy new laptop, and although it does all the download stuff, when I try to open it asks me to activate by entering e-mail etc, then looks as tho' it is trying to open, but shuts down straight away.
#DRAFTSIGHT 2017 WON'T ACTIVATE 32 BIT#
I've been running 32 bit draftsight on my W7 desktop for quite some time.
