Hi All,
After venturing for nearly 60 hrs I could install and test
it working successfully. I would like to add some points regarding the
installation of Opnet for other Opnet users.
My
Environment for Opnet 14.5 installation:
Window 7 (32-bit) with SP1 (A x86 Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
with 2 GB RAM) and Visual Studio 2008 Pro.
Step 1:
Clear/Uninstall all or the previous installations of Visual
Studio no matter whatever version it is and start a fresh installation.
For
uninstalling Visual Studio 2005:

(steps)
For
uninstalling Visual Studio 2008:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=105801 (it is single
click uninstaller)
Step 2:
Install the Visual Studio 2008 Pro (Recommended mode or Full
mode)
Step 3:
Set your system variables as given below (end) for both 32
& 64 bit Windows 7:
These are referenced from the Riverbed Opnet 14.5 support site:
http://supportkb.riverbed.com/support/index?page=content&id=S20337
*My recommendation, delete all the previous set
environmental variables for Opnet and to start over fresh.
Step 4:
Follow the below procedure for Opnet 14.5 installation
1. Opnet Modeler (modeler_145A_PL8_7808_win.exe).
2. Opnet Documentation (modeler_docs_02-Sep-2008_win.exe).
3. Opnet Library (models_145A_PL8_24Sep08_win.exe).
2. Opnet Documentation (modeler_docs_02-Sep-2008_win.exe).
3. Opnet Library (models_145A_PL8_24Sep08_win.exe).
4. Licence maker
If you get
the following error ignore it and continue installing the next file
'installation package
is not supported by this processor type contact the vendor'.
