After trying a few things, I need to reach out to the best technical
user base I know; TechNet;

This is a first problem with these symptoms, so I can only ask around.

I am running XP Pro on a Intel based 3 Ghz & 1.5 Gb Ram PC

I have 2 ECAD tools no PCB fellow should be without. I know they run
well together because I had them running together several
Months ago. I don't know what changed. All I did was have Altium
Designer 6 ( Protel ) installed ( actually my IS support person insisted
on doing it ).

I have a licensed gerber viewer from RSI called Vision ( Great tool BTW
) and the free 3D viewer eDrawings2006 ( another great FREE tool ).



Problem;

I can run CamCad Vision fine by itself. But when I try to run
eDrawings2006 viewer, it instantly invokes the windows installer, which
tries to install
CamCad Vision. CamCad Vision is already installed & runs fine, so I
don't know what tells it to do this. If I just let it go it keeps trying
to install, then just eventually stops & nothing happens. It doesn't
finish, so I have to end the process thru windows. eDrawings2006 never
comes up either. If I uninstall CamCad Vision, then eDrawings2006 viewer
runs fine. Then I re-install CamCad Vision & the same problem comes
back.

What I already tried;

I uninstalled both programs & installed again. First I installed over
top of itself, being told this may clean up the registry entries. But it
didn't fix the problem. Then I uninstalled each separately, then
verified each runs.
I viewed the registry but did not make any changes there as I still find
the registry very cryptic. So I choose to remain in the viewers gallery.



Any leads, ideas or tips would be appreciated. Someone, somewhere at
some time must have had this happen & found a method of repair. We (I)
may not fully understand how & why it works, but as long as it results
in a clean reliable fix, then I am happy.

Regards
TDK
