Installing MC 14 with Windows 10

My computer died and I am trying to re-install Mathcad 14 with Windows 10. I am getting many error messages (many for help files which seem to be where they are supposed to be but the install program cannot find). But the error I could not get past was

ERR 1904.Module

C:\Program Files(x86)\MathCad\MathCad14\mcformsr.ocx failed to register HRESULT-2147220473

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I guess that Mathcad 14 is too old and is not compatible Windows 10.

Suggestion:

  • install virtualization software
  • create virtual machine with older Windows compatible with Mathcad 14
  • install Mathcad 14 inside virtual machine

First you need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package, which can be found it here (Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 - Search Microsoft.com 😞

x86: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5638

x64: Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) from Official Microsoft Download Center

And then reinstall Mathcad 14.

    After I posted, I realized that despite all the error messages, MC 14 actually installed. I havent tested thoroughly but it seems to be working. I did check that I had

    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package


    on my computer. So at least for now, everything seems ok and I am keeping my fingers crossed.
