I am unable to download the Mathcad software I purchased onto my windows 10 computer. It gives me an error saying it cannot run on my PC which has a 64 bit operating system.

Hi Martin,

Originally, I had just clicked on the download button from my order confirmation email and then tried again to access my download from in the PTC Webstore. In using the link you provided, I still had no success in getting the software to install. However, I was at least met with an error I believe I can interpret. The problem seems to be my computer processor. I guess I need to take my PC to some hacker person to jailbreak it.

Hi,

you need PC with 64-bit Intel/AMD processor and Windows 7/10 64-bit.

@LB_9826607,

 

Which version of Mathcad you use? What is the exact error you receive? Please share snapshot of error.

Note:

  1. Mathcad 15.0 M050 is supported on Windows 10 OS
  2. Mathcad Prime 4.0 until 6.0 are supported on Windows 10 OS

I purchased Mathcad Prime 6.0 Student Edition, and when I click download on the .exe file these two error messages pop up.

@LB_9826607,

 

Based on your shared snapshot and my assumptions, suggesting below points:

  1. Did you unzipped downloaded files before running *.exe? (if download is in compressed state)
  2. If you have unzipped downloads then, try running *.exe as Administrator (Right Mouse Click on exe > Run as Administrator)
  3. If downloaded files are corrupted, refer https://www.remosoftware.com/how-to-repair-corrupted-7zip-files to repair it and see if it helps (I googled for information)
