“We believe that a thorough understanding of the hydrodynamic behaviour in a pipeline system is essential to guarantee a low cost, safe and reliable system.
With WANDA we assist our clients throughout the complete lifecycle of their pipeline system, from the first schematic diagrams to the performance evaluation after decades of service. To this day, we keep improving WANDA on intelligent components and user-friendliness, to allow us and our fellow users to carry out any hydraulic analysis intuitively and efficiently.”

Unsolved in 4.6.0Errors when starting Wanda: Method 'Add' of object 'IRegistryKeys' failed / A fatal program error 0xC0000025 has been detected
Workaround:
1: Run the iGrafx FlowCharter installation as an administrator
- Right-click the iGrafx FlowCharter installation and choose: “Run as administrator”
- If asked, install FlowCharter as “English”
If the above workaround fails:
2: Select a custom FlowCharter installation type
- Start iGrafx setup, if asked for language, select “English”
- Agree to the iGrafx license agreement, click next
- Enter the provided iGrafx license key, click next
- Choose “custom” installation type, click next
- Select “Anyone who uses the computer”, click next
- You can leave the default installation location, click next
- In the “Select features” dialog, click on the icon/button next to the option “Organization charts” (located under “Optional diagrams”), and select “Entire feature will be unavailable”. Then click next until installation finishes.
A future solution will come in the form of a new version of the third party software iGrafx FlowCharter.
