Question

Installation of Add On collection Problem

I have just replaced a dead hard drive that had MC14 020 installed on it, the entire Add-On Collection for MC14. This collection came on a CD in a zip file. Extracting it gives you .exe files for all the different extension packs and libaries. However, I cannot install any of these successfully. I run the exe file, only to get a box that shows that a "network source is unavailable" and it tries to point to a .msi file. I don't have an .msi file. All I have are exe files. For example: run Mathcad14_CE_Library_setup.exe results in a dialog box asking for the following file: Mathcad Civil Engineering Library.msi What am I doing wrong? I have had these installed before, but I can't seem to remember the trick to doing this. Please help or point me to a post that does (I couldn't find one myself). Thanks.

It sounds like when you received the Mathcad libraries and extension packs they came as MSI files, which are the equivalent of a CD. You can contact Mathcad customer support and let them know that your hard disk died. http://www.ptc.com/support/mathcad_contacts.htm They might be able to help you out. Mona
