How does one access the Installation Wizard to repair AC V26. It is already loaded but would like to repair as am experiencing a glitch. See Documentation- section background color for glitch am trying to resolve.

Thanks Tom

IIRC when you use the re-run the installer it will detect that it already exist an will ask if you want to repair it

Must I uninstall existing AC26 first? Still don't see how to get to the installer. Tom

No, you just re-install (the same as you did when you first installed it), it will detect it is already installed and ask if you want to repair it.

You will lose your custom Work Environment (unless you have exported it).

Or you can un-install and re-install.

this is the screen I get. If I hit next, it reverts back to asking for the folder. Do I have to go back to the original AC install, then install the updates? Tom

Yes, probably we were not very clear.

You have to run the Archicad installer (original version) and not the updates to repair.

Then install your Goodies before starting 26 (if you wan to install them).

Then install the latest update.
