Problem Description
When I try to open STAAD Foundation Advanced from STAAD.Pro, I get the message "Could not Open STAAD Foundation Adv application".
Steps to Resolve
Reinstall STAAD Foundation Advanced; if you think this was installed before, it must have been removed/uninstalled or the folder has been renamed.
Software Download Instructions
If the program is reinstalled and still you receive this message, then you need to update the following keys in the registry.
- Click Start
- In the Start Menu, either in the Run box or search box, type regedit and press Enter.
- Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\STAAD Foundation Adv; in the right hand side double-click the 'LastVersion' and update it from 7.0 to 8.0 (as shown here).
4. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\STAAD Foundation Adv\8.0 ; in the right hand side double-click the 'SELECTString' and update it from 7.0.0.0 to 8.0.0.0.
P.S. You must have administrative rights to edit the Registry Editor.
You must be familiar with the Registry basics to make any changes.
