Windows7 64bit and Mathcad14

Hello to all who goes in front

I have not managed to get my M14 to run ;>(

I upgraded my workstation and have done all wich have been available, but still no go.

"Unable to create 12.0 engine factory" is only indicator of the problem before 14 start-up logo vanishes.

How is it PTC ? When can I get a working release ?

Here are some suggestions from technical support:

1) Please check Add/Remove programs for the following:

Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0

MSXML 4.0 SP2 Parser and SDK

If you cannot locate the pre-requisites listed above, they can be downloaded by clicking the appropriate link(s) below.

Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0

2) Re-register the Mathcad 14 dlls.

Go to Start -> Run -> Browse to the Mathcad.exe file in the the C:\ProgramFiles\Mathcad\Mathcad 14 directory.

After pointing to the mathcad.exe file, select "open" go to the end of the string in the Run dialog box, and hit the spacebar once after the � and type in "/register". It should look like this in the Run box:

"C:\Program Files\Mathcad\Mathcad 14\mathcad.exe" /register

Thanks Mona for good advices and Cheers to Valery ;>)
When I read Valery's first message, I begun thinking about my case.
You see, I had just upgraded my computer to Windows7 using PCMover. This software can upgrade ones PC from XP to W7.
Some programs doesn't accept this way to do this, and they have to be re-installed totally. This step I had forgotten.
So I removed everything connected to MC. When I say everything, I went through my Register and removed all references to MC.
Re-installend my licence, upgraded it to latest release and now I'm happy.
