Re: [Orbiscad-users] How to install orbisCAD on Windows

[<fer...@gm...>]

Hi Jonathan,

I have checked the bat and it seems ok. I think the problem is the way the
file is unpacked. If I unpack the file with FilZip it doesn't work but if I
unpack it with WinRar it works. I can't tell why it happens but maybe tryin=
g
to unpack it with another tool will solve the problem. Can you try?

If you try another unpacking tool and it still doesn't work don't hesitate
to tell us about it.

greetings,
Fernando
