Re: Updating Estlite

Could it be that an over-aggressive anti-virus application is preventing EstLite from installing? Not sure if it would make any difference but you could try running the installer (EstSetup.exe) as administrator. You can download estsetup.exe from https://estlite.com/download.php Never heard of ESTsoft

Re: Updating Estlite

Are you opening EstLite from a shortcut on the desktop?
If so right-click on the EstLite icon and select Properties from the pop-up list
In the Properties window What are the contents of the Target: and Start in: boxes?

Also, is there more than one EstLite icon on the desktop?

Re: Updating Estlite

Hi Justin, This entry in the help file was added years ago when a user, with Windows95 I think, was having a problem with the Update feature and it turned out that the missing dll file was the cause. This is unlikely to be an issue on a modern (ish) PC, however if you are unable to update, and you h...

This was my setup in our last shop. I still have the U shaped brackets which are now lying around gathering dust.

Moulding ID Please

We stocked this moulding a few years ago, and now a customer has returned seeking a match. I think the source was Ashworth & Thompson, however I don't see it on their current website so either I have overlooked it, it has been discontinued, or it is from another supplier. Moulding width: 20mm ap...

Re: EstLite Sales or Tutorial Videos

While there is a video or two for Pre-View, the visualisation application, I've always thought that they were unnecessary for EstLite, I suppose because I think it is so straightforward and uncomplicated in everyday use.

However I have recently begun to reconsider the idea.
