Windows 10: TurboCAD will not install

I have used a CAD program called TurboCAD for years, but recently, TurboCAD support advised me to uninstall and reinstall it to try to solve some problems. I uninstalled it fine, but I could not reinstall it. When I run the install file, UAC asks if I want to let this program make changes, and I answer yes. But nothing happens, and no error messages are generated. The install file is TurboCAD_2022_48.1_x64.exe. I have a Dell XPS laptop running Windows 10 Home. All updates are installed. I've searched the web for three weeks and tried everything I can think of, but nothing helps. The system

Turbocad 14

Hi Thomoasprice,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the issue that you are currently facing, we will try the best we can to resolve your issue.

First of all I would like to inform you that we don't support third party software. As you have said "I have tried contacting the supplier of Turbocad, but they no longer support this version" I suggest you to download the latest version of Turbocad 14 from
the supplier of Turbocad and install it in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

If not I suggest you to contact the supplier of Turbocad.

Hope the information helps. Please keep us posted on Windows related queries and we will be happy to assist you further.

 

running TurboCAD 32 in modern PC

Hi, Will.Ong

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.



It's great to hear that you enjoy using TurboCAD 32 for your drawing and drafting needs. However, when running older software on a modern PC, compatibility issues can arise, especially with newer operating systems like Windows 11. Here are a few steps you can try to address the issue:

1. File System Permissions:It's possible that the program is encountering issues related to file system permissions when trying to save files. Try running TurboCAD 32 as an administrator to see if it resolves the saving issue. Right-click the program's executable or shortcut and choose "Run as administrator."
   
2. Virtual Machine or Emulator: Consider running a virtual machine with an older operating system (e.g., Windows 95) installed, or using an emulator specifically designed for running older software.
   
3. Contact TurboCAD Support: Reach out to TurboCAD support for assistance, especially if you have the original installation disc. They may be able to provide guidance on getting the software to run on Windows 11.
   
4. Explore Alternatives: While you prefer to continue using TurboCAD 32, it's worth considering alternatives or newer versions of CAD software that are compatible with Windows 11. This could ensure better performance and continued support.
   

In any case, make sure to keep backups of your drawings and project files to avoid any potential loss of data during troubleshooting. I hope these suggestions help, and I wish you the best in getting TurboCAD 32 up and running on your new Windows 11 PC.

Best Regards
