Most software is easy to install. Solidworks makes the process so painful you need a PhD in Computer Science just to load the damn software. So far, Errors include

"Can't connect to the Electrical SQL Server", Error code 1603, etc. What crap software.

No one else has this question

Hi Kevin:

What products did you try to install?
For Product like SOLIDWORKS Electrical, you need to install the collaborative server first, then you install the client.
