CrystalDiffract

A user-friendly, elegant program for working with x-ray and neutron powder diffraction patterns from crystals.

CrystalDiffract can simulate and visualize diffraction patterns from any CrystalMaker binary file. You can manipulate patterns in real time, with extensive control over all aspects of the diffraction experiment - plus the ability to edit site occupancies and lattice parameters. CrystalDiffract lets you display multiple diffraction patterns (simulated and real) in the same window. You can also simulate multi-phase mixtures (with variable phase proportions), plus energy-dispersive and time-of-flight diffraction. A free Demonstration Version is available.

What is new in this release:

• Miscellaneous Installer Improvements.

  • A problem which caused an invalid licence code error when running the Full Installer on existing installations has been fixed.

  • Information regarding the Uninstaller is now correctly written to the Registry when a reboot is required following installation or updating.

  • Fixed bug in installer which caused the check for All User installations to fail; app exit code now distinguishes between an app that was already licensed and one that has just been licensed.

  • When installing on Windows XP systems with the File Associations option selected, the user will no longer have to deal with the Run As dialog and risk seeing spurious crash alerts.

    NOTE: When performing the Edit > File Associations command on Windows XP systems, the Run As dialog will be displayed by the operating system. You must un-tick (clear) the 'Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity' checkbox, or file associations will not be set and a spurious 'application crashed' alert will appear.
