LTPowerCAD crash when opening file

Hello

I run the latest release of LTPowerCAD on my two PC, on windows 10 64b.
When I try to open a design for example LT8610 or LT8641, it crashes. If I try to open the file directly from the installation folder, I have an error window identical to the screenshots you can find on others topics related with this kind of issue.
I uninstalled SQL server and the simulator, reinstalled it, same problem. I run everything in adminstrator mode. Note that I don't have the problem with some parts, for example LTC7151S, it works well in this case I can open the default solution or a custom old one.
I have this problem on both computers. Looks like recent updates on windows introduced some incompatibilities with your software...because I don't remember having such issues some months ago.


Thanks

  • Hello.  I recently downloaded LTPowerCAD II v2.7.3 and it is displaying the same crashing problem. 

    When I attempt to open ANY past LTPowerCAD files that I had designed a year ago or so, none of them will open, regardless of what IC it is simulating.

    I even just created new files with just some random, fairly simple switching ICs (LT8604 and LT8619).  When asked if I wanted to start with the default design file I said 'yes'.  Without changing anything, I confirmed that the simulations were working correctly.  And then promptly saved them without making any changes.  When I attempted to open these default designs, they still crashed.

    I did a full uninstall and re-install of the program, and it still displays the same problem.

    Does anybody have any recommendations for this?

  • I've fixed the problem.  I did a full uninstall, again.  And downloaded the latest version again.  This time when I opened it, it showed the version being v2.7.6 instead.  Also, when I installed it this time, I ran the install setup file with administrator rights.  

    I don't know if was the newer version that fixed it or installing it as an administrator.  But this seemed to fix the problem.
