2017 Lost and sad
-
SketchUp Make 2017 installers are still available for download on archive.org.
-
Thanks for the link I checked it out for giggles and got AI to put it together on my Computer and it works
-
@L-i-am That is interesting Liam. How involved is it to get AI to do the job?
-
Just get chat GPT and asked it to put the code together to put SU 20217 on my computer I think I just sent the link to chat on this thread it came back with text plus an "exe" file
-
Golly gosh.
-
The link contains a downloadable .exe for 2017. Simple download and run it, usually best down with right click Run as admin.
I see no reason to use AI to do anything in this situation. -
@Box Must have missed the .exe. I did look
-
I have no idea if it is a legit file. -
@Box But there are so many .exe's. All gobbledygook to me, that is why I am so impressed with Liam's approch. (BTW: I'm on 2019, just curious about AI)
-
EN in the file name tells you it is an english version.
-
Aah, I need to get out more, obviously. Have we hi-jacked this thread?

The Gemini AI says:
The term "gobbledygook" was coined in 1944 by Maury Maverick, a congressman from Texas.
During World War II, Maverick was the chairman of the Smaller War Plants Corporation. Frustrated with the excessively long, vague, and pompous language of bureaucratic memos, he issued a memorandum to his staff telling them to "stay off gobbledygook language." He defined it as "talk or writing which is long, pompous, vague, involved, usually with Latinized words."
Maverick explained that he came up with the word by thinking of the sound a turkey makes—a "gobbledygobbling" sound. He felt that the pretentious and convoluted language of officialdom sounded just as ridiculous as a turkey's gobble.
