Installing AllyCAD Home 2010 was first not possible, since I got a message box stating:
Runtime Error (at 35:279):
OLE error 80004001.
I was looking for the same OLE error in the net, but installing MSXML 3.0 didn't help (actually MSXML 4.0 was suggested in forum entry). I read elsewhere that the webbrowser might be part of the problem, so I installed Internet Explorer 6.0 in that bottle. Afterwards the installation process worked without problems.
Running the application is quite shaky. During startup I get two error messages:
SetPixelFormat failed with error 0: Success (that's a good reason to fail ;)
CRenderGL::Initialise() - SetPixelFormat() failed
Loading some old drawing of mine crashed the application, so bronze so far.
