Evan S Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Installed both on my Win 7 PC and double clicking the program files doesn't do anything. No program opens. Help? Quote Link to comment
Guest Jim Kelly Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Do you have 64-bit Windows? Did you chose an alternative installation destination to the default C:\Program Files (x86)? Quote Link to comment
Art V Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I addition to Jim Kelly's questions... Did you try running it as administrator? I've had something similar happen in the past on Windows Vista on a laptop and running it as administrator made the program to open. (On Windows Vista on the desktop it worked normally). Reinstalling it as administrator may or may not solve the issue, for me it didn't until after a complete system reinstall, then it worked normally again and it no longer was necessary to run it as administrator. Disabling anti-virus or internet security software during reinstallation may help too sometimes. Quote Link to comment
NTZeek Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I am having the same problem on both 2011 and 2013. I have: -uninstall and reinstalled -Yes it is in the x86 programs folder -removed quicktime and reinstalled (Correct version that came with VW) -Checked for 3ivx or whatever that codec pack was that was causing issues. -Updated to most recent 306.97 NVidea drivers. -Clean re-install of Nvidea drivers -open program as admin. 2011 was working fine until recently. No newly installed program seemed to cause it other than perhaps a background installed update. Machine is Win 7 64 bit i5 processor with nvidea gtx460 8 gig ram with OS on Kingston HyperX SSD and no other problems. Quote Link to comment
Haich Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Have you installed either the "YouSendIt" application -or- the Microsoft Office 2013 preview? Installing those applications would cause Vectorworks to be unable to launch for me. After removing those apps, Vectorworks would come back to life. (Edit- in original reply, I said "DropBox" app, but the problem I had was actually with the "YouSendIt" app. Sorry for any confusion.) -H Edited October 24, 2012 by Haich Quote Link to comment
NTZeek Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Ahh, thank you Haich. The tech at VW tells me they have a known incompatibility issue with the MS 2013 preview. I will uninstall and try again. I actually really like the 2013 preview. Thanks much Quote Link to comment
Greysi Zapata Zorrilla Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Im was having the same problem, but it actually run when I uninstalled Microsoft Office 2013, apparently arent compatible. the should fix it. I was almost formatted my computer. Quote Link to comment
