AC16 Hotfix 1 (build 3014) issues

Anonymous
Not applicable
I downloaded Hotfix 1 for AC16 last week and installed it on my work computer. The specs are in my signature below. When I went to open up Archicad, it froze on startup (similar to what happened when I tried to open up a second instance of Archicad before the Hotfix). I shut down the computer and restarted. Same thing. I eventually uninstalled AC16 and installed without the Hotfix.

I then went to my home computer. The specs are similar to my work computer. I installed the hotfix and it works fine. before installing, I made sure to disable Norton 360.

My office computer uses a server Symantec Antivirus. I disabled everything prior to installing AC16 and the hotfix. I came in this morning and tried to install the hotfix again, and it froze on startup. I uninstalled again, and installed the original.

Both computers use Cadimage Tools Door and Windows. The antivirus is different, but were disabled. The only other thing is that I know I installed the Google Earth Add-on in the office, but unsure if I installed it at home. I will look when I go home tonight.

Sorry for the length. Has anyone else had a similar issue with Hotfix 1?

thanks,

Jeff

You may just copy the installed AC from one computer to another (if AC was installed there will not be any issues - if AC was not installed the QT problem will show up)

I tried to copy an installed version on AC16 from one machine to another without luck. I think there are too many dll and registry files.

I did find out one thing. On my machine at the office, I have the Google Earth add on installed. On my machine at the house, I do not. Has anyone else installed hotfix 1, with the Google Earth add on installed, and have Archicad work properly?

thanks,



Jeff
