[Installation] How to reinstall CIM, CAD INFRA-DESIGN

Question

I am curious about how to reinstall CIM and CAD INFRA-DESIGN after deleting them.

Answer

If essential modules required for running the program are missing or damaged during the installation of the existing CIM and CAD INFRA-DESIGN, you need to delete all program-related data and logs and reinstall them. Alternatively, to install a new version, you need to delete all previous versions of the program.

In addition, during the installation process, it is possible for essential modules for program operation or execution to be missing or damaged due to security issues on the user's PC. To prevent this, it is recommended to disable antivirus and firewall before installation and to proceed with Windows updates. Windows updates are a good way to correct security issues and system errors. It is difficult to determine if specific errors that occur during Windows updates are directly related to the system's security issues, but they have a positive effect on resolving overall security issues and error states.

Also, we recommend deleting and reinstalling other applications, including Microsoft Office, which is linked to the MIDAS program, after shutting them down. Running application programs can interfere with MIDAS program installation, so it is best to shut down all of them before proceeding.

 Finally, if you use both CIM and CAD INFRA-DESIGN, delete both programs and install them using the integrated file.
