Install ArchiCad 12 on Windows 8.1 64

Anonymous · ‎2015-08-01

Will get v 19 in the future. In the meantime, I am hoping to find a way to install my Commercial version of AC 12 on my new computer which has Core i7 CPU, 16 GB RAM, 2 GB nVidia graphics, Windows 8.1 64 bit. Can only get as far as the Install screen where nothing happens. I have installed WIBU, Java, Quicktime, and Adobe Reader from the DVD. WIBU key has never been in USB during install attempts. I have tried starting installer from setup.exe but no files are decompressed or created.

Any help with compatibility settings, etc greatly appreciated.

Try uninstalling all versions of Java and then install just the one on the DVD.
You can upgrade Java again once you have installed.

Thank you Barry! That worked like a charm. I wish Graphisoft made this recommendation in their info about compatibility of older versions.
