AutoCAD Based Installation (Ribbon/Toolbar/Location)

Description:

During the install of HydraCAD, you get an error, "Setup Needs the Next Disk, Please insert disk 1 that contains the file data2cab"


Solutions:

Cause:

Unknown but likely due to the install being installed from within a OneDrive folder or via a networked OneDrive folder or running SETUP from within a compressed folder

Solution:

1. Log into your Hydratec Sharefile account and download the full Install or Update from the Hydratec Sharefile website to your local hard drive.

2. Unzip it to a new folder

3. From the new folder, run the application called SETUP / SETUP.EXE


As of April 4th 2025, the names of the downloaded files are;

HydraCAD V57.07 Rev5 Install (Build 12.20.24.1).zip  (Compressed Folder)

HydraCAD V58.01 Rev5 Install (Build 12.26.24.1).zip  (Compressed Folder)


Extract these so they change from compressed files to folders.  Only then can you run SETUP.EXE from the new folder.

If the name of your file doesn't match exactly to what's shown above, please use common sense to extrapolate the name a future install zip file may be named.
