Mastercam X6 installation folder issue

[ashjo16]

Hello,

 

I have a CAD CAM package that is integrated with the Chooks and used with the X6 64 bit.

 

However the issue is that, if I install the mastercam under C:/programfiles/mcamx6

the mastercam crashes when I try to use my CAM package.

 

However if I install the mastercam directly under "C:/mcamx6"

 

the CAM package works fine.!

 

Does anybody know how I can fix this issue.?

 

I NEED to have mastercam installed in Program Files folder.!

 

Thanks

Ashish

The issue is most likely something hard coded in your chook, or it could be the space in the "Program Files" causing the issue.

 

Usually the fix in dos commands is to include the path in quotations.

 

As an example c:\Program Files\Mcamx6\chooks should be "c:\Program Files\Mcamx6\chooks"

You may also want to check your rights to the 'Program Files" folder. I install as little as possible to the Program Files folder because of the issues I have being unable to

even MODIFY a text file (.ft) even tho I am local admin.

Just as more information,

it gives me the following event in the event log

Please see the attached picture and the highlighted area at the pictures bottom.

 

ThankYou

The line that says insert.tbl not found is concerning.

This indicates to me that the shared data folder has been changed manually and points to a location that does not contain the basic files that Mastercam needs. example operation defaults, cnc_machines, material lib ect...

That error "insert.tbl" isnt contributing to anything that causes the installation folder issue.

 

I am, still facing the original issue, even after fixing the "insert.tbl' error issue.

(I just had to shift the insert.tbl file to the user folder location)

 

However the installation folder persists.!

 

Thanks for replying.
