stage of Exceed uninstall. The workaround is to rerun the full Robcad Silent Uninstall.

When installing Robcad on a PC with more than one partition (e.g., C: and D:), youshould install MKS manually before installing Robcad 9.0. Make sure to manually

change the path of the MKS installation to C:\Program Files\MKS Toolkit.Otherwise MKS will be installed on the other partition by default.

On Vista OS (32 & 64 bit) Robcad setup should be run as administrator (RightClickRun As Administrator).

On Vista OS (32 & 64 bit) the license manager application(StartProgramsTecnomatixLicense'License Setup') should be run asadministrator (Right ClickRun As Administrator).
