Apologies for keeping you waiting 😶 The patch is to make the program work for "free", without the ability to update modules.

You'll want a clean install of Windows, install the vcredist AIO package, and then install SDD v167 as normal. You can press ignore or whatever similar option for SVG and Adobe readers, the program doesn't actually need it to install, or work..

I understand there isn't a ton of info out there, I'd be more than willing to to help in greater detail over email or phone. If you're wanting to circumvent the install altogether, I have an extra laptop with SDD installed I keep as a backup. Everything on it is tuned specifically to be used for SDD or Pathfinder, plus its built on a 17" MBP..for reasons (it looks nice? big screen?)

Wonder if its obvious I didn't do well in sales..

I'd love to circumvent the install but doubt I can afford to at the moment. How much for it? Also, email seems like it might be easiest to start, since the install goes in phases, kinda. The laptop is pretty new, just not fast. Admittedly cheap, since I had no idea what was needed. It's Windows 10 Pro. What do you mean by "clean install"?

Yeah let's see if we can get your setup working. If you could DM me I can go into further detail on an install. "Clean install" refers to a fresh Windows install with nothing else. I have a complete custom .iso that I use.
