Archicad 17 installer crash. Help :(

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone in the forum.

First post. I'm a bit desperate with archicad installation from servers to go on a trial run.

I downloaded the trial and clicked on it -> unpacked, and then -> nothing.

My laptop has windows 8.1 64bit, i5 cpu, gfx gt630m hybrid and 6gb ram. It should be enough.

Java: I have the update 51, recent, and also tried to uninstall it and just use the one that comes with archicad. Problem persists. Even with 32bit package installed as well.

Windows event log:

I was so eager to try this software but never managed to make it work. I also have eset antivirus and deactivated before installing. Also tried version 16 with same results. I also granted admin rights.

Any suggestions? Help!

If you search for "Install" in tp right hand you get:

I've heard back from Csaba in tech support about this issue: The problem is with Internet Explorer 11.

Tech support advises trying again with a different browser. E.g., try Chrome, etc.

I'd try Barry's suggestion of Compatibility View first, as some other sites also report that being added to that list restores functionality.

I'm using chrome and even installed safari, but the download size was still the same. With IE11 I checked the compatibility view and still got the same size.

I'm being left out of the revolution

I am stumped. Last try would be to download on another computer or install a download manager to rule out that the download is the problem. FWIW in one occasion somebody had to try over 5 times to get one usable file.
