UG NX3 ON WINDOWS 7
UG NX3 ON WINDOWS 7
(OP)
Has anyone ever figured out how to get NX3 working on Windows 7? I got to the bottom of the thread and it doesn't give me any answers. But I only know enough to be dangerous. I need this in a bad way!

I just installed NX3 on Windows 7 64bit as a test and it works. Had to install the 3.0.5 MR update as there was a graphics error but otherwise it works as it should with no mucking around.

THE GRAPHICS WINDOW HAS DETECTED AN ERROR AND IS NOT ABLE TO INITIALIZE
and
GENERAL FAULT EXCEPTION
It looked like somebody was tracking down a graphics driver problem, but I also read where somebody fixed it by installing a 3.0.5 QRM. My other problem is that I can't get the QRM's to install, even using the DOS commands. What am I doing wrong?

I currently have 12 versions of UG/NX, from UG V16.0 to NX 8.0, on my laptop which is running Windows 7. Granted, except for the last few instances such as NX 6.0 thru NX 8.0, these were NOT actually 'installed' but rather simply copied from my old Windows XP laptop, however, despite that, they all seem to work just fine.

To this end I've attached a copy of a generic .bat file which if you review the internal comments, it will explain how you can use it to launch independent sessions of NX. Download the attached file and change the extension from .zipper to .zip before attempting to extract the .bat file.

Set UGII_BASE_DIR=c:\eng_apps\nx3.0.5.3
Then save the file and double click to run.
That way the rest of the batch file is implicitly told where NX is. Never had a problem doing it that way and it avoids mucking about with changing the variables at the OS level.
