Can the NI Circuit Design SUite be installed on Microsoft Multipoint Server 2011?

We have a ten station multipoint server 2011 (the underlying OS is Server 2008). When I try to install the Circuit Design Suite (we have a 10 user license) I get the following error:

"The NI-DIM 3.0.0.0f0 for 64 Bit Windows Installation has failed with the following error:  Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I was able to install this same software on a single Windows 7 station so I know the disk is not bad. I appreciate your feedback.

Hi there,

I saw one of our Applications Engineers is already in contact with you via email. Multisim is not supported on Windows Multipoint Server. You can find OS support info at:

NI Multisim OS Support and System Requirements

I was wondering, are you also installing the NI ELVISmx driver? When you run the Circuit Design Suite installer you have the option to install this driver. If you don't need the driver select No and see if this makes a difference.

Thanks for the response. I did get the Circuit Design Suite Installed on the Multipoint Server by opening an administrative command prompt and typing: change user /Install. That seemed to fix my problem. To insure that it actually works, I had the course Instructor run the program and he said it was working as expected. Appreciate your help.
