Title: Mach 3 and LazyCAM
Post by: geoff3881 on April 05, 2014, 06:42:14 AM

I am aware that Lazycam is no longer supported, but find it useful for simple profiles.
I recently had to reload Mach 3 and Lazycam and they are both accessible on the PC

However, when in Mach3 I cannot access Lazycam as I have previously ie File - Lazycam.
I just get "File not found"

Is there some linking action I need to take. ?

Thanks

You need to install / reinstall LazyCam, when prompted, just after installing Mach.

Hi Rich,
Do I have to reinstall Mach 3 then ?
I have tried deleting Lazycam and reinstalling but I did not get the prompt you mention.

Just reinstall Mach over the top of itself and make sure you choose to install LazyCAM while doing the Mach install.

I have tried to reinstall Mach 3, but get "Launcher Error Box showing - Could not start set up"

I tried deleting Lazycam and then installing Mach 3, but got the same message.

Geoff,
Using XP here and have never had a problem installing Mach or recieved that error.

What version of Window's are you using?

Someone else will need to reply on use of W7 - 64 bit for LC and also the wizards since I don't use that system.

Sorry,
RICH

Try running as admin.
I have just installed Mach/LazyCAM here no problems on  W7 64bit

On my PC (Windows 7 64 bit) I also have XP running as a virtual computer.
I have just tried the procedure suggested and it works fine, so I guess it's related to Windows7 and 64bit in some way.

My problem is thus solved as I can work on the XP version.

Thanks for your help.

Sounds like you have Admin rights problems with your W7 64 OS, as mentioned I loaded it no problem  on my comp at home which has W7 64
