If you install Service Pack 2 via the automatic update software IronCAD Update Utility, an update of the US version of the add-on is also included. IronCAD Mechanical. This cannot be installed if you use our Swedish version.
Therefore, please uncheck this in the dialog box.

If you do not uncheck IronCAD Mechanical you will receive an error message after installation. Please ignore it. The reason is that you are using our customized version of IronCAD Mechanical, which cannot be overwritten anyway.

Please read our post on how to disable the automatic update via IronCAD Update Utility.
On our Download Center you will always find the latest version of the extension IronCAD Mechanical.
