Installing MathCAD Prime v3.1
- Connect to the Jukebox server and browse to “Jukebox”
- On
Jukebox
, browse to:\\chem-jukebox\Jukebox\MathCAD
- Copy the entire
Prime3.1
directory to your desktop. It’s about 1.1GB so it may take some time to copy over. You’ll delete this folder when installation completes, so you’ll get that space back. - Once the copy completes, open the
Prime3.1
folder that you just copied and run theSetup.exe
(click through the warning if one shows up) - You should see the PTC Installation Assistant appear. Verify that
Install new software

: - On the Application Selection page, leave the defaults and click

- On the Application Installation page, Mathcad should start installing itself. The icons to the right of each progress bar give options to Retry a failed install, or to get More Info on why a particular component failed to install.
PTC Mathcad Viewable Support
andPTC Diagnostic Tools
may or may not install correctly depending on what other programs you have installed (ex: MathCAD v15). As far as we can tell so far, as long asPTC Mathcad Prime
completes successfully, that’s enough to get up and running.
- When installation completes, click Finish.
