I downloaded the PowerPack file yesterday and installed it on my computer. Its about 366KB, and all that seem to happen was that it installed a folder containing an .ini file in the Program Data folder. Nothing else seems to have changed. The ini file is 144KB. That seems about right when you compare file sizes and add the overhead for the .exe extractor.

Hi Bob

The PowerPack installer just installs a license on your machine. When the app launches, it looks for the license file and turns on additional features.

At the risk of sounding stupid... where do I find these new features? Nothing seems to have shown up in the menus on VC. My 32bit box is running the latest 32bit build according to the menu link.

P.S. yes I did move the Punch! folder up one level to the programdata folder.

Hello Bob,

it adds "powerpack" in the menu-bar.
Perhaps a restart helps?

Regards

Yep. A restart is what I expected, but its been restarted several times over last day or so. I also moved the Punch! folder per other conversations. Nothing appears.

Ok, figured it out. The location stated didn't work. I had to place the PowerPakc Folder in the Punch! folder inside the hidden application data folder under all users. Now the PowerPack Menu item appears.

I can confirm the issue as well, thank you Bob La Londe

the full path where the .PowerPack10.ini is installed is:
C:\ProgramData\Application Data\Punch!\PowerPack
and it should be:
C:\ProgramData\Punch!\PowerPack

After doing this and restarting ViaCad Pro 10 the extra menu is there.
There is no option in the installer to change the path manually.

I'm using Windows 10
