Mar 17, 2010 I have tried to install CADKEY 97 in a Windows 7 machine. The initial installation screen comes up, I click on Install CADKEY 97 and it tells me 'Could not run CADKEY 97 Install. Try manually running the SETUP.EXE.' I try that and get the message that CADKEY 97 is not compatible with this version of Windows. Nov 25, 2015 I would like to run Cadkey 99 on a Windows 7 laptop. Indeed I have been doing just that. Recently it has been not functioning properly. Macros not working, and even failure to load. This last issue was cured by re-installing Cadkey 99. My hunch is the Microsoft is making it impossible to run such an archaic program. Will Cadkey 19 run on Windows 10? Thanks in advance Art.
