PA wont start on Windows 2000

[Henrik Hansen]

Hi,

I prurchased PA the other day and installed on Windows 2000.

When starting PA, POWERARC.EXE shows in “taskmanager processes list” for a few seconds, then dissapears ? A PA window never shows up ?

Any tips, solutions ?

with best regards
Henrik Hansen

Henrik,
which version do you have installed?
Was there a previous version installed that worked?

[Henrik Hansen]

I installed “powarc1164.exe”.
No previous installation.

which version of 2000 is it?

[Henrik Hansen]

Windows 2000 version 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4

maybe it is due to the GDI+?

Download it here:

and copy dlls to PA install folder.

thanks

GDI+ installed, and now it works !-)

Thankyou

Great ;-).

We have had GDI+ checking and installing during setup previously, but it would slow down the setup process by 30-60 seconds for all users due to scanning for dll.
