For up-to-date information on the software compatibility of this product in a standalone or
integrated environment, please refer to the Compatibility Matrix on the Hexagon Support Web
site at https://smartsupport.intergraph.com/.
Log on and perform the following steps:
1. Click the View Downloads tab.
2. Click the Product Compatibility link under Useful Links on the right side.
3. On the Hexagon PPM Compatibility Matrix - Product Report page, from the Select Product list,
select CAESAR II
4. From the Version list, select the version of CAESAR II.
Special Instructions
CAESAR II Version 12, is a Windows 10-based program. The input files created by Version 12
are not downward compatible with previous versions. However, Version 12 can read input files
from any previous version.
Existing users should install this latest version in a different directory from any earlier existing
version. CAESAR II displays the version number and build date in the lower right corner of the
main menu for your reference.
This version of CAESAR II should be started by using C2.EXE.
When you start the CAESAR II application, you should select or specify a job name (by selecting
File > New or File > Open) before using any other module. Most of the modules function using
the current working directory. If this information is not available, the module cannot run. You can
select File > Set Default Data Directory to save this working directory in the registry.
Windows Language Pack Considerations
The CAESAR II language (such as Japanese or Chinese) is not the same as the Windows 10
language. You must install a language pack. For more information, see Recommendations for
Windows 10 users in the Windows support article Why does some text display with square
boxes in some apps on Windows 10?.
Post Installation Considerations
CAESAR II installs the NETUSERC2.BAT batch file in the CAESAR II program directory: If you
install CAESAR II to a network drive, only the installing workstation has the proper .dll files
installed and registered. Run this batch file on all other workstations that will run CAESAR II to
ensure the .dll files are current and registered.
CAESAR II installs the following three batch files in the CAESAR II System directory
(…\ProgramData\Intergraph CAS\CAESAR II\<version number>\System):
• ACCESS2010.BAT – Use this batch file to copy the MS Access 2010 template onto the
active template used by CAESAR II.
• ACCESS2007.BAT – Use this batch file to copy the MS Access 2007 template onto the
active template used by CAESAR II.
3
• ACCESS2002-2003.BAT – Use this batch file to copy the MS Access 2002-2003
template onto the active template used by CAESAR II. If you are using Access
2002/2003 already, you do not need to run this batch file.
• ACCESS2000.BAT – Use this batch file to copy the MS Access 2000 template onto the
active template used by CAESAR II. If you are running Access 2000, run this batch file
to use the appropriate template and to avoid having to convert database files
individually.
For more information on installing CAESAR II, refer to the CAESAR II Quick Reference Guide,
located on the software DVD.
