0 islandmon Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Possibly >port : 80 required to connect to the internet. Need to be connected to the net prior to attempting the install. Quote Link to comment

0 AStewart Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 yes, I have spoken to the network people here and they hopefully will allow access for me to complete the install. Quote Link to comment
0 Guest jkelly Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Two things on this. One, we have a SP3 updater, you'll probably want to download that. The second is that you can set the updater to make use of a proxy per the instructions here: http://techboard.vectorworks.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=105080#Post105080 Quote Link to comment
0 AStewart Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 I have tryed that i could not run 'echo %APPDATA%.' it could not be found Quote Link to comment
0 Guest jkelly Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Another way you can determine where to put the file, instead of echo %APPDATA%, is to go into VectorWorks and go to Tools->Options and then go to the last tab, for user preferences. You should see the button to explore your user preferences folder, click that. Once you do that, you should go up one directory from where it places you (a note for any Mac users reading this, on a Mac, for some reason VW puts you in the correct directory from the get-go). Place the VWProxy.txt file (properly configured of course) in that directory, and then run the updater. Quote Link to comment
0 AStewart Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 The problem has been solved, I had to go onto a wireless network in order for it to work. Quote Link to comment
