Installation error: 'archicad 15.0.0 component not working'

I have recently downloaded Archicad onto my computer but when I started it up it comes with a window saying archicad 15.0.0 component not working. Any potential solution would be most helpful.

More info please.
Where did you download it from?
Is it a trial version, student version, full version?
What are your machine specs?
Operating sytem?

It is a student version, downloaded off the Internet. The computer handles other modelling software fine so the specs should meet the required ArchiCAD specs. I'm using Windows 7 - 32 Bit Operating System.

So it installed the program OK or is it the installer that is not working?

Have a look at this web page.

It seems like item 10 is your problem.
Give it a try and see what happens.

I was thinking maybe a quicktime problem (item 3) but you are not getting a blank splash screen.

Hopefully this will help.
