Nice job DJ! Nice
hi there i can not install this program, there is no error message it just does nothing when i try to install i have tried to re download and install and still nothing. i click to install the downloaded file and like i said nothing happens at all. i live in the uk if that makes any difference? hope this gets fixed soon mad
Your profile says you are in the USA... The fix will be on your side as the rest of us don't seem to have the install problem you are having.... Have you tried re-booting your PC? What version of windows do you have? We need a bit more info....
There is no problem to be fixed. It sounds like this individual is merely downloading the software and not installing. Have you installed a program before?
Here are instructions on how to install a program on your computer: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows/install-program#1TC=windows-7
*Note: However, there will be many additional challenges to make a robot if you do not know how to install a program.
please dont insult me i have completed a course in IT at college i know how to install a program. i am running windows 7 os and i know my profile says usa but i havent had time to change it, when i go to click on the program to install it asks me to run it i click yes and nothing....
Nobody is insulting you..... If ARC is not installing it is because something (your settings) in your computer is stopping it... I have it installed on 4 PCs one of which is windows 7 without issue...
your right it could be my end i will try and reboot computer i really want to get this program working the kits look amazing and i really want the JD kit sorry if i came off a bit defensive but not sure if you was being sarcastic with me as i thought everyone knew how to install a program. i will try a reboot and hope it works
