Civil Engineering Solved Problems

I went onto the MathCad Resource Center on their website.

Then I click on "Books."

Then I see this one book called "Civil Engineering Solved Problems."




So I have MathCad 14 on my computer. I tried to download this book and then it wouldn't run, since this book was saved in an older version of MathCad.

How do I solve this issue? I want to run this book, for I am a civil engineering senior

With some of the older EBooks (they possibly try to find a Mathcad2001-directory and refuse to install) it helps to rename the .exe to .zip and manually unpack the content in the Mathcad 14 handbook directory.

I have tried the way suggested to rename .exe to .zip but it still didn't seem to work. Is there another way to install this in MathCad 14?

Many thanks,
Jason

It depends on how the zip program tries to handle it. I use Filzip (because it's powerful and free!). Filzip will not extract it, but oddly will convert it to another format, such as tar. That can then be extracted. Here are the files.
