I had successfully installed Hypermesh 11 on Windows 7 PC.

However when I tried installing the same on Windows 8 laptop, I got the following error:

 

'Installer User Interface Mode Not Supported

The installer cannot run on this UI mode. To specify the interface mode, use the -i command-line option,

followed by the UI mode identifier. The valid UI mode identifiers are GUI, Console & Silent'

 

Kindly help. Thanks

    Hi

    If you already install it on win7 then you can copy installed directory (c:\program files\altair)to win8 and use it directly

    (remember copying shortcut in start up>all program>altairwin64 also)

    Is there anything that I can do to install it directly on Windows 8?

    Hi Abdul,

     

    HyperWorks 11.0 and 12.0 are not supported on WIndows 8 operating system. As TInh said, you can make a copy from Win7 to Win8 which may work. that is the only workaround.

     

    HyperWorks 13.0 is supported on WIn 8/8.1
