3rd party installers for GRAPHISOFT products

[mtron]

In this article, you can find a list of additional software needed for installing or running GRAPHISOFT products. When you run the installer, it will automatically install those third-party products which are not yet installed, or which are out of date. If you don't want to or can't install these automatically during unattended installation, make sure they are installed separately beforehand.

Reference Guide and Offline Help

Archicad 23 and newer versions provide up-to-date Help resources online which can be viewed with any modern web browser. The Offline Help needs one of these supported browsers:

• Google Chrome 65.0 or above
• Mozilla Firefox 59.0 or above
• Microsoft Edge 40.0 or above
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 11

Apple Safari 11.0 and above can be used after disabling local file restrictions. For this, follow the steps detailed in the Reference Guide.

Further documentation

A viewer application is necessary to read the PDF documentation provided with GRAPHISOFT products.

• On Mac, you can use Preview, the default PDF viewer of macOS.
• On Windows, you need an application installed separately to open PDF files—we suggest using Adobe Reader available to download from here.

Java for former installers

With Archicad 22 and newer, you do not need the Java Runtime Environment for installing the software.

In some cases, during installing Archicad 21 and earlier versions, newer, older, or corrupted Java versions could block the installation and uninstallation process of GRAPHISOFT products. If you have any issues like this, please consult the corresponding Install and Startup Troubleshooting Guide for a solution. You can find the Java installers that were bundled with the Archicad versions on this site.

I'm trying to install Archicad on a M1-Max, in parallel

And I have the message below.

I tried many combination of  install/uninstall without results.

I need to install AC on Parallel to test some functionalities in Window.

Try to download it from Microsoft and install it, then try to install Archicad again:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

You probably need the third one:

X64

https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

Permalink for latest supported x64 version. The X64 redistributable package contains both ARM64 and X64 binaries. This package makes it easy to install required Visual C++ ARM64 binaries when the X64 redistributable is installed on an ARM64 device.

I use a Codemeter key on Macs, and something gets messed up when moving some computer content to some other one using Time Machine backup; the key license is not seen by AC nor License Manager Tool. I've experienced this twice in December (Catalina, 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pros) and again a couple of days ago (Monterey, 2021 MBP M1 Max). 

Following recommendations I first reinstalled Codemeter on the target computer, then License Manager Tool (nothing changes), and finally made a clean install of a new AC (I have several AC 24s and AC 25s installed) and only then things started working again (for all AC versions). At the same time I can move my key at any time to the source computer, and things keep on working there without any reinstallation.

@Laszlo Nagy  

I tried, but it doesn't work

I think the problem could be that I have a MAC M1 Silicon powerbook.

I can't install also the IFC extention for Revit in Parallel.

I have always the same message. 

Mario

[Laszlo Nagy]

Sorry, I have no further idea.

I don't know if this is a issue specific to M1 CPU machines, Parallels, Add-Ons ot their installers.
