What does "An error occurred during the installation of assembly..." mean?

This is an error coming from one (or more) of Microsoft's sub installers that we include. It is a fairly common error that may be due to prior incomplete Windows Updates, running a Beta or RC version of the OS, or running with insufficient privileges. Typically, restarting the computer to make sure all updates are installed, and running the installer as admin will resolve the problem. 

What does the error message mean: "The central directory was not found in the archive (or you were trying to open not the last disk of a multi-disk archive)"?

This error is usually linked to a corrupted installer or displays if you are trying to install SpaceClaim in an account that does not have Administrator privileges.

What happens if I don´t have a CATIA license?

If no CATIA license is available, the CATIA v5 translation will be disabled.

What should I do if my download was interrupted or it never finished?

Check that your Internet connection is running correctly and then try downloading the installer again. If you continue to experience download problems, please contact the SpaceClaim Support Team for assistance at http://www.spaceclaim.com/Support/supportoverview.aspx
