Unable to run multiple language versions of ARCHICAD

I have installed an INT and NZE version of Archicad 26 on my laptop (Macbook Pro, Intel) but there seems to be an error every time I try to start the INT version. Please see attached screenshot.

 

Each language version of Archicad (INT and NZE) has its own folder renamed to their specific version.

 

Has anyone had an issue with or tried doing this and had a similar error?

I don't use the CI tools, but I think you can just install a second copy of the NZE software (just use a different installation folder), and then do not install the CI tools in it.

As the add-ons will not be installed, they will not be included in the files.

You could use the INT template if you have managed to access it.

Thanks Barry! 

I got access to the .tpl and library of the INT version. Would really prefer to have the INT version open on its own first instead of doing the work around.

Appreciate the comments and suggestions though.

Your suggestion might be the way to go if Central Innovation doesn't have any solutions for this.

The only differences are Libraries and possibly W/E and the work environments have nothing to do with the file. The Library is critical but they can send you a copy if you don't want to install the Spanish version. If it helps this is the equivalent of the requirement being that you need to use the Spanish version of Windows (or MacOS) as a requirement of the project.

Google is wrong, you can download any version.

Right thanks for the answers. I’ll try to install the Spanish version once I get back. Unfortunately the Spanish side of this project only work with revit so they won’t have a Spanish AC library file to send me (but thankfully they said it was okay for us to stay on Archicad, just that everything needs to be in Spanish language once done).

UPDATE! 

This issue is now resolved via doing a 'repair install' and an update of the INT Archicad 26 to the latest build (i.e. 5002). 

 

As per Central Innovation's technical specialist: 

I can't say for certain, but generally it's due to the installation not being fully completed (Computer sleeps before it's finished, etc) or if the installer files are not embedded into the directory correctly.  
It doesn't occur too often - if there is a problem with the installation then a repair install will most likely do the trick.

 

So not a license issue, but an install issue.
