http://www.zwsoft.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=2236 I installed the Beta version of ZWCad+ into my notebook HP Pavilion dv5, but nothing happens when I double click the icon. Does someone knows what could be done to it Work, or, in this version of Windows, ZWCad+ does not Works? I installed the version 2012 too, and it Works. thanks eduard8783 2012-07-01 10:49:38 http://www.zwsoft.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=2236&pid=16162 The compatibility with Windows 8 has not been tested for ZWCAD+. But you can try the methods provided above by Colin We will soon make the move to make sure ZWCAD+ will run on Windows 8, thank you! huangy8949 2012-10-29 09:40:18 http://www.zwsoft.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=2236&pid=16156 Is there already any news. Today i updated my computer and zwcad+ ended to open. :-( info8989 2012-10-26 23:43:35 http://www.zwsoft.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=2236&pid=15406 Just my 2 cents, the Windows 8 is too new for the moment to test or ensure compatibility DDWZW 2012-07-12 14:07:16 http://www.zwsoft.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=2236&pid=15385 Just FYI, for any Windows 7 application, we could always take the following steps to run them. Just take ZWCAD+ or ZW3D for instance: 1) Extract it by 7zip, as the original compressed exe file are stopped by Windows 8 security mechanism 2) run the setup.exe, and click to run it, which might cost you five minutes to finish the installation 3) run ZWCAD+ or ZW3D with Windows 7 compatibility, right-click the program icon and then choose the windows 7 compatibility 4) If any error prompts, run the program with Administrator, generally speaking, it is not necessary to run it with administrator.

Please hold down several days for the result... DDWZW 2012-07-02 09:34:57
