This is the description of Mold Wizard NX 8.5 Engineering Data Base Installation.
1. Windows XP :
a. Download and unzip mwnx8.5_data.zip to a folder, such as "d:\moldwizard_data".
b. Set MOLDWIZARD_DIR environment variable to the above folder, for example "set MOLDWIZARD_DIR=d:\moldwizard_data".
PS:实际文件夹可能是：D:\MOLDWIZARD_DATA\MOLDWIZARD，无论名称改为什么，反正打开这个文件夹，必须是见到诸如cool、drafting、electrode等文件夹。
c. In order for the Bill of Materials tool to work properly, copy \moldwizard\templates\moldwizard_add_in.xla to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\XLStart directory
PS:根据提示拷贝相应的文件至对应的文件夹。
d. For Win64 bit machine, you need to set MOLDWIZARD_DIR environment variable explicitly in .bat file or System Environment Variables.
2. Windows 7 :
a. Download and unzip mwnx8.5_data.zip to a folder, such as "d:\moldwizard_data".
b. Set MOLDWIZARD_DIR environment variable to the above folder, for example "set MOLDWIZARD_DIR=d:\moldwizard_data".
c. In order for the Bill of Materials tool to work properly, copy \moldwizard\templates\moldwizard_add_in.xla to
C:\apps\MSOffice\Office12\XLSTART directory ( For Microsoft Office 2007 ),
or C:\apps\MSOffice\Office14\XLSTART directory ( For Microsoft Office 2010 )
