Question: Question: I am trying to install Micro-Cap 8 on a system that has Windows 7. Will it work? I
haven't had much luck so far getting it installed.
Answer: Yes, Micro-Cap 8 will run on Windows 7 but you must so several things first.
1) Install MC8 from your original CD.
You only need to do this if the system is new and does not already have an MC8 installed.
We strongly recommend that you install MC8 in a non-write-protected directory like C:\MC8. Do
not Install it in the Program Files folder because many Windows 7 installations write-protect the
Program Files folder and MC8 must write to data files in the installation folder.
2) Download and install the newest Hasp driver (Haspdinst.exe.).
You can do that here:

Follow the instructions on the web page for installing Haspdinst.exe.
3) Try running MC8. If it runs you are finished. Otherwise you need to download the latest MC8 zip file.
To access the file you will need a user name and password which Spectrum Software will email to you
when we receive an email request for the user name and password. Be sure to include your name and key ID number.

Uncompress the downloaded MC8.EXE to the MC8 folder overwriting the MC8.EXE file there.
