IApproach users: Adobe Reader is now automatically updating to the 64-bit version which is causing issues with viewing Service Bulletins, Printing and previewing Forms, and certain features of IApproach that utilize PDF viewer.
To avoid and/or fix this issue from occurring it is recommended that Adobe Reader 64-bit be uninstalled and replaced with The Foxit PDF Reader.
To uninstall Adobe Reader, click on the search button in the task bar at the bottom of the screen and type ‘Control Panel’ then click on the Control Panel icon:
When Control Panel opens, click on ‘Programs / uninstall a program’.
In the resulting list of programs, right-click on Adobe Acrobat Reader and select ‘Uninstall’ then follow the prompts to complete the process.
Download and Install FoxIt Reader (click here to download). During the installation, if you are prompted to set Foxit Reader as the default PDF viewer – click Yes/Allow.
Please follow the steps below to address the issue.
Method #1
1). Close the AVANT program.
2). Right-click on the AVANT icon and choose ‘Properties’
3). Click on the ‘Compatibility’ tab
4). Place a checkmark next to ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ section and choose ‘Windows XP Service Pack 3’
5). Place a checkmark next to ‘Run this program as an administrator’ (you do not need to be an administrator to do this).
6). Click the ‘Apply‘ button then the ‘OK‘ button.
7). Run the AVANT software (if you see a Windows message about the program making changes to your computer, click yes).
8). Try to register again. You will now be able to register going forward.
Method #2
Using Windows Explorer, browse the Avant disc and open the Support folder.
Inside the Support folder, select Regmate and then right-click on it and choose Run
as administrator from the context menu.
The registration assistant will start.
Click the Install button and allow it to complete. It runs very quickly and once
completed, just close it and then return to your Avant software to re-try the
registration.
