Question

conversion of mcd to xmcd fails

I'm trying to convert an old MCD file to the XMCD format -- but the converter fails with the message "Could not start mathcad conversion process"

 

How can I convert this file so that I can use it with 'PTC Mathcad prime' ?

Which version of Prime are you using?

 

Apart from that, look here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad-Installation/Error-quot-Conversion-failed-Could-not-start-Mathcad-conversion/m-p/707518#M49

 

Success!

I have tried running mathcad as an administrator and the same error occurs.

If you are truly running Express--you're past the free 30 day full evaluation period, then the converter has been disabled; the message should read, "This is a premium feature, you have to give us money every year to use it."
