1. MSI Information
• Repackaged from the Mechanical Engineering departments distribution.
• Repackaged with InstallShield AdminStudio. Needed to run the software locally otherwise the setup.bat file would fail.
• Remove everything under HKCU and under System within HKLM.
• Set sc32w.dll to "override system language".
• Removed the shortcuts for registration wizard and solid network license administration.
2. Configuration Issues
• These MSI is configured to run from the ME license servers, you must use this for educational purposes on the MIT campus network (18.).
• The program works fine, however, the first time a user runs the program they will get the following "errors":
  • After first starting the program a user will see "toolbar information is inconsistient, default toolbar setting will be used" - Here say "OK" and you should never see this again unless you reset your roaming profile.
  • When the welcome screen comes up, if you select "New Document" you will get the following: "Templates cannot be created in the present location C:\... Please use the browser to select a new location, etc..." - Here click on OK and on the following screen select a directory that you have write access to - My Documents is probably the easiest. This should only happen the first time you run the program, or again if your profile is reset.
3. Known Bugs
• No Known Bugs.
