Hi
I'm trying to open Virtual Building Explorer presentation file generated with archicad 14 on windows 7 on my computer with windows xp and ac12 installed and it says "application seems had not been installed properly" or so. But this file opens correctly on win7 computer with ac14 installed. Maby there are some special requirements for xp systems?
Thanx for help

I'm having a similiar problem, where the VBE presentation file does not open on most pc's I've tried.
- The problem is not consistent as it opens on all the computers I've tried in our office.
- It has so far not worked on any of my clients pc's.
- I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, Archicad 14 to generate them.

Any suggestions

Hi Haneef
I found at least one solution to solve the problem: to open presentation files on clients computer you can install archicad (better latest) - demo version would be enough. When AC installs it also install those missing components.
Best regards

I am pretty sure, after installing this windows-software it will run smoothly:
