QCAD won't run after install

Post by Tritton » Thu May 16, 2019 1:08 am

Hey guys I have been using the trial version of QCAD and just purchased and downloaded the professional verison. After the install wizard completes the program will not open or run. Hitting the icon or the name from the start menu just does nothing at all. I can't even get back into the trial version.

I initially just did the download and install but have since removed the program and did a fresh install and same thing. Nothing happens, no errors.

It is the 64bit version and I have also downloaded the zip archive files as well.

Hello,

please make sure everything is de-installed from the trial and the pro. Delete also the qcad3.ini - here you will find a description how to find it on your system.

After that please install the pro zip version - here is a description how to do that:

To start the new QCAD installation use the qcad.exe or create a shortcut link to the qcad.exe.

Please keep us posted.
