1) WebRoot Antivirus

This is a problem that may arise if you are using WEBRoot antivirus.

To solve this, you need to whitelist (in WebRoot) IRONCAD.exe and the path to the *.exe file:

C:\Program Files\IronCAD\*VERSION*\bin

‍

2) Corrupt plate table

Remove the corrupt database file on the path:

%localappdata%\IronCAD\IRONCAD\*VERSION*\en-us\SheetMetal\

Then try starting IRONCAD again.

‍

3) Windows 7, AppPatch folders:

It may be Windows' built-in security features that prevent the program from starting.

Do this:

Go to C:\Windows

Then rename the Apppatch folder

Then try starting IRONCAD again
