This post shows how to install the salome-platform package on Windows. The same method can be applied to install Salome-Meca for Windows package available in our download page. For Code_Aster Windows standalone package installation, follow this post.
Install Salome for windows
Download Salome for windows from the official salome-platform download page.
Execute the downloaded file. It will self-extract in a SALOME-x.y.z-WIN64 directory.
Test your Salome installation
Go into the extracted directory and into the “WORK” directory. Then execute “run_salome.bat”.
A cmd window will appear and set up things since Salome is running for the first time, be patient … Then another cmd window will effectively launch Salome.
Finally a graphical environment should appear 🙂

Hi,
I love open source programs, therefore thank you for your work. I am very eager to use code_aster and Salome-Meca, I followed the tutorial, installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) and Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64), extracted files. However when I run run_salome.bat, the Salome-Meca started to load when it gets to 100 % I got an error:
C++ container is not found.
I just can not come around that, please help.

Hello I have installed salome meca 2018 64bit on my PC (that runs windows 8.1) as indicated in the instructions above, but I have the following problems:
1)First of all, I’m not able to save a project. When I try to save a project there is a warning that I quote here: “Can’t save file “blabla” possible reasons:
-permission denied
-Unsufficient disk space
-application error try to use another file name
2)Second, when I try to launch the program often SALOME MECA freeze/lock itself when I chose “Geometry” in the menu” and so I have to close the programs.
3)Third, I’m not able to import iges files of bidimensional lines (straight and curved lines). A warning says that there is an error without specify what this error is. I don’t understand. This iges file in Ansys works properly.
I have the same problems with salome meca 2017 64bit
Can anyone help me?, I’m a civil engineer not a programmer. Thank you very much.
