The new CADWorx 2016 Installer provides an updated UI with improved user workflow and support for SCCM deployment – a user request for quite some time! 

CADWorx 2016 Installation Instructions

Install CADWorx on the system hard drive using the setup.exe installation file located on the CADWorx product CD. The installation process is relatively simple. As you go through the installation process, the software prompts you for required information.
