Install CellDesigner

The current release is distributed in archived installer package for each operating system.

Install Error

If you encounter the following error when you start CellDesigner on Windows platform
"Javaw.exe - entry point not found.",
it is because you have installed different libsbml on your Windows.

To solve this problem, there are 2 ways as follows:

  1. Uninstall libsbml
    - This might work, but it may cause a problem if you have a software tool which requires that version of libsbml.
  2. Modify the registry on your Windows as follows: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586.aspx (Set the value of SafeDllSearchMode to 0)

If both of them didn't work for you, please also check whether you have xerces-c_2_7.dll under C:\Windows\systems32. If so, please remove the dll and restart CellDesigner.

If you have installed SBW, set the path to the SBW library.
