I cannot install Mathcad prime 8 on my windows 11 lapop.
It appears not to run the installation setup file. I did a clean windows installation for my laptop and when I tried to install it... nothing starts to load.
Please, do sometrhing.... anybody...
When I entered in propreties of the file, it looked like it`s not compatible with windows 10 and 11, only with Windows 8, 7, vista and xp...
I cannot install it and I need it for my university projects.
Thank you!

Hi,

in https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/Running-Mathcad-with-Windows-11/td-p/748123 discussion I found this info:

Next release in March this year - Mathcad Prime 8.0 is certified to run on the newest Windows operating system, Windows 11 (version 21H2).

Hi,

my suggestion:

  • download zip installer file once again
  • unzip downloaded file into C:\ptcinstall directory
  • launch C:\ptcinstall\setup.exe
