Partminer

Some time ago Randy posted a reference to Partminer as a good parts search
engine. I went there and clicked download, something seemed to happen, but
I can't find it on my system. The site "manual" said to run setup, but
Windows Explorer can't find any file to setup.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Ray McArthur

    The file name is PartMiner_Setup_3_015.exe (depending on version).

    Try doing a file find on PartMiner_Setup*

    I have found www.findchips.com to be better although not as broad of a
    search. PartMiner mysteriously UAEs on my system pretty regularly -- very
    frustrating when you have to search for the same part 3 times because it
    crashes each time.

    Al:
    Did a file search per your suggestion...still not there. After reading your
    experience, I think we'll forget it. We have been using Findchips and like
    it.

    Thanks,
