Mastercam 202 for SOLIDWORKS product Failed to load

[The_Machine]

Latest Version of 2020 solidworks, latest version of MC4SW 2020

 

Day 2 of Mastercam: 

Tried deleteting the .workspace files and the .config files and still get same error. Mastercam 2020 opens fine. Worked earlier today and I don't remember the last thing I did. 

 

Should I be using 2021 mastercam?

do you have MCfSW set to load automatically when you launch SolidWorks.

I've had much better luck just launching SW, launching MCfSW from the tools/addin menu, then opening the SW model file.

I've also found that a fresh install in SW and MCfSW as a hard time writing this folder the first time a new user launches MCfSW

"C:\Users\** your user name **\Documents\My Mastercam 2020\Mastercam for SOLIDWORKS"

Again.. the best course of action is

Open SW to an empty session

Launch MCfSW via the addin menu

then load your part file

Make sure the SolidWorks CAM addin is not loaded. To ensure this, open SW, go to "Tools/Addins" and uncheck both checkboxes next to SolidWorks CAM. Then shut down and start SW again.

Thanks

I had forgotten this.

I do that the first time I launch a new SW install.

That must be why I haven't had many of the problems some people are reporting

I should have mentioned that I made sure Solidworks CAM wasn't loaded. As part of the troubleshooting I made sure no addins were loading. I also tried loading the addin after SW loads. Same thing.

The only headway deleting those files appeared to have made is that there no longer appears to be an unhandled exception in the loading process that crashes SW hard without a loading error.

Has it worked for you in the past but now that you've updated its failing?

Or has it never worked?

Never mind, based on another Topic it sounds like you've gotten it to work before.

So what's changed?

I believe the last thing that happened was a windows 10 Edge browser update.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled MCfSWit from scratch and all of the updates and it's still failing to load. 

You have reached the maximum number of posts you can make per day. LOL WAT!!!

EDIT: I wiped the registry entry for MCfSW and that fixed it. I guess your uninstaller doens't clear the registry entries correctly.

I think you'll have to get in touch with support ([email protected]). They should be able to figure out what on your computer is causing this.
