As I said before, we are running a few W7 test rigs in our office, testing out various bits of software we use in our business.
We are having problems with SolidEdge (SE), a 3D drafting package by UGS/Siemens. It installs, and at the last screen where it "removes backup files" it freezes. We waited almost an hour, nothing happened. We then killed the process. Strangely, all the icons and programs under the Start Menu was installed, and SE runs. When we reboot the machine, all the icons and references to the program dissappeared! It isn't even listed under Programs & Settings, files in Program Files (x86) folder also gone!
Tried it in several machines, each from vanilla install.
Anyone tried SE in W7, or perhaps encountered similar symptoms with other programs? Or any suggestions for me to try?
Btw SE runs beautifully in Vista x64. It does however need serious graphics & processing power, but that has nothing to do with the problem I guess.
Thanks Rudi
