I don’t use SmartDraw anymore so I can’t help anyone with tech support.

When I am trying to uninstall a pop is coming saying INSTALL.LOG not found. I have tried all the above given solutions but all efforts went in vain.

Please let me know if there is any possible solution.

Waiting eagerly,

Aashu

I’ve just spoken with a guy from SmartDraw’s 24/7 helpline. The program has now been uninstalled, and I now have to say I am impressed with their advice service.

Thought I’d give the recent trial version a try I’ve since tried to uninstall this program through the control panel with no success. I just receive a message saying: could not open install.log file. Also, there is no option to uninstall in the start menu. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

>SmartDraw has an official user forum now

Great, now they can delete the negative comments from their forums if they don’t like what the users say.

I’ve tried SmartDraw back in the version 4-5 days, small, efficient, interesting concepts on some features. It looked very promising but somehow it lost its way. Probably because it focused on the wrong features and customers. They are targeting for the average joe who just want cookie cutter templates. Even professionals who want to use it cannot customize it the way the want it without big hassles.

Website looks very professional
Marketing is doing very well

But product is not as good as they hype it to be.

Hope we have a another ex-SmartDraw coming up from another startup company with better vision. So long SmartDraw…

Hi Linda. This is a pretty old thread and and you may want to ask this question on http://forum.smartdraw.com/forums/ or somewhere else. I’ve recently switched to the Mac OS, so I won’t be using SmartDraw anymore.

I used the trial 2009 version of SmartDraw and though it has a couple of glitches, for drawing 2D houseplans, it worked really well — except. It locked up my computer several times. $$ being an issue, I’m considering buying SD 2007 for $20. What do you experts think of that strategy?

Had SD 2007. Really tried to get into it but in the end it was so slow and jerky that I had to uninstall it. (BTW, I have a brand new computer top of the range computer with 4Gb RAM, top graphics card and yet it was still painfully slow.) In the end I got fed up and uninstalled it, which in itself was a problem. What a relief this bloatware is gone! (And my computer seems to work faster now.)

Hi,
SmartDraw has an official user forum now (June 2008), the address is http://forum.smartdraw.com/forums/

Thanks Harold for offering a place for SD users to drop in.
