AutoCad 32bit And 64Bit Install (Serial Key Included)l
Numbers Ventors
But it always cancel installation because "net framework 4 is not installed". In fact, it's not true : I've installed framework 4 and I can see in the control panel both Framework 4 Client Profile and Framework 4 Extended.
Anyway I've uninstalled both of them, uninstalled Java or any folder mentioning "Autodesk". I've also used Ccleaner to empty temp folder and to clean registry. After that, went to Windows update and re-installed Net Framework 4. I've booted and reboted between each install or uninstall procedure. But nothing matches.
I've also tried to used the net Framework4 version which is inclued on the autocad soft to be sure that it's the best fit to the procedure. But again, nothing has matched. After hours of procedure, it still tells me Net Framework4 is missing and refuse to go further...
Are you 100% sure you have the full .Net 4.0 installed and not just the .net Client thing that Windows Update offers? I had a similar problem with a program installing (not sure if it was Autodesk product or not) and after much frustration I realized it wanted the full blown .Net 4.0. I did a google search for .net 4.0 full install and found a page like this from Microsoft.
Please note the link I included is for 64bit so do your own search if you need 32bit. Anyway, after I installed this full version, I was able to install no problem. Not sure why the software vendor didn't include .net 4 as part of the install in the first place or at least warn you as a pre-installation check.
Yes, I think it's the full .net framework4 : I first downloaded from microsoft (fit for 32 bits W7). And, because it didn't work, I've uninstalled and re-installed (but this time from the file taken in Autodesk soft itself). In the control panel, it's visible : both net framework4 client and extended are mentioned.
I'm afraid I have to "refresh" the whole system (there's a lot of things on the hard drive !) But I hesitate : I'm not even sure it will be a reliable answer : on this forum, somebody did it but still has a problem in the install procedure...
PS : you suggested also to uninstall C++. I' didn't done it because I was afraid not to be able to recover everything : at this moment, my daughter has to complete other works on her pc before presenting them the morning after. Was it critical to uninstall C++ ?
I hate to be like this but I have to put this out there... This computer seems to be acting erratically and it is causing you headaches and many work arounds. If this was me, I think I would cut my losses and reformat the computer. Sadly, it will probably take you less time to back up all personal data, reformat, reinstall windows with updates and reinstall programs than it will take to work your way around this. Besides, even if you do work around this I believe you still are dealing with a messed up and buggy computer.
I hate to say stuff like that because it sounds like a cop-out but sadly it is probably true and probably the most efficient way to get by this and end up with a good, solid computer. Just my opinion.
however, when i begin the installation process, a black screen just pops out and then gone. nothing happened. The installation didn't push through... what could be the problem of the installation process?
I have not finished the install but ther gentleman in the prior post that gave the .net 4.0 d/l link was correct after you download and install the preceding .net 4.0 link then you do a Windows Update and there are six more files which have net 4.0 stuff in them and when that finishes I will reply back with another reponse and see if it installs correctly as well...

I'm having the same problem here with cad 2012 architecture... I just tried what Chris said (1st page) and it's not 100% installed but its working, so thanks Chris! You just saved an achitecture student's project!
1. Access the Autodesk Virtual Agent and follow the download links to your product.
2. Download all of the parts (some applications only have a single part to download) for your product first. Do not continue until all of the parts have fully downloaded.
3. Navigate to your download folder location and extract (double click) part _001_00X.sfx.exe (or the single file download).
4. In a few seconds the extraction will start and prompt you to extract to C:\Autodesk.
5. Once the extraction is finished, the installation will automatically start.
6. Follow the installation steps for your product

If you're like me and the old AutoCAD R14 still does everything you need from a 2D drafting package, but you've upgraded your system to Windows XP Professional x64, you've probably found that when you try to install AutoCAD from the original installation disk, you get one of the following the error messages (depending on how you try to run the setup program):
Have no fear. There's a very simple way to get AutoCAD R14 to run on your machine, so long as you have access to a 32 bit system somewhere. I found an Autodesk discussion forum on Running R14 on Vista. An entry by a guy going by
jambuch was very helpful, but has some information for Vista that isn't relevant to XP x64. Somebody going by wjohn posted information on how to get matchprop to work. Since you have to search a long thread to find that information, I decided to condense it down here into a simple blog entry.
Jambuch discovered that the setup.exe file is 16 bit, so there's no way to run it on your 64 bit system. The solution is to simply install AutoCAD onto a 32 bit system, and then copy all the necessary files to the 64 bit system. If your 64 bit system is a new computer (which it probably is), you just copy the files from your old computer. If you don't have a 32 bit system, go find a friend who will let you use their computer. By default, AutoCAD gets installed into 'Program Files\Mechanical.' Copy the entire 'Mechanical' folder into a new 'Mechanical' folder in 'Program Files (x86)' on your 64 bit system.
When you try to run 'acad.exe,' you'll probably still get errors. This is because the AutoCAD setup program installs additional files into your 'Windows' directory, and adds the appropriate entries to the registry. You don't need to worry about editing the registry on your 64 bit system. Simply copy all the necessary files from the 'Windows' directory of the 32 bit system into the 'Program Files (x86)\Mechanical' directory of the 64 bit system. On my computer, the only two missing files were 'heidi3.dll' and 'gdifont3.hdi,' and they were both in the 'Windows\System 32' directory. I had already installed several programs by the time I got around to installing AutoCAD, including a 3D drafting program, so I'm not sure if there would be any other missing files on other systems, but the error messages you get when trying to run 'acad.exe' will let you know which specific files you need.
If you know what you're doing with the registry, you could copy those missing files into your 'Windows\System 32' directory and make the appropriate registry entries. That would be the proper way to do it, but it's not really necessary, and you risk making your computer unusable if you don't know what you're doing.
In that Autodesk forum I mentioned above, there was some discussion of replacing a file called 'SH31W32.dll' if you're trying to run AutoCAD R14 on Vista. I didn't have to do that for my XP Pro x64 installation.
Once I thought I had everything up and running, I tried using matchprop and got an error message that it was an unknown command. After reloading it following the directions I've outlined above, it worked just fine.
Update 2012-01-25 - Well, there were a few more bugs than what I'd noticed originally, but commenters seem to have left some good solutions below. Additionally, as I pointed out in a comment below, work finally saw fit to buy me a copy of AutoCAD LT 2011, so I no longer have any real motivation to fix the bugs for AutoCAD R14. I'll leave any more solutions up to commenters.
That's cool that there is a work around. There are so many programs that don't work with XP64 on my desktop at home. I'll be switching to Windows 7 once it is out. I ran a beta version on my laptop and liked it much better than Vista.
Yeah, I'm glad I got AutoCAD to work. A license for AutoCAD LT is $1000. The only two programs I've had major problems with are Acrobat and COSMOS Works (the finite element analysis program that we use at work). I broke down and bought a new version of Acrobat, but COSMOS Works is a bit more expensive and something you don't just go out and buy on a whim. Plus, work just bought me a license for NEi Nastran, which is a much more powerful FEA tool than COSMOS (unfortunately, it's less user friendly, and I only have a couple weeks experience with it). So, I guess I haven't come out too bad from the switch. Still, if anyone knows how to get COSMOS Works 2004 to run with SolidWorks 2005 on XP Pro x64, let me know.
ok, I did this workaround and im ohhhhhhhhhh so close to having it running, problem is when i fire up acad r14 I get a "Fatal Error: Heap Error" and then it closes down and tells me "Error handler re-entered. Exiting now", thoughts? I am trying to run this on Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit
acad r14 is working in windows 7 64bits, except for "Format"...Text Style... get the fatal error message... another curiosity is Dimension Styles (dialouge box) won't open unless I start at Multiline or Point Style and work my way up to Dimension Style...
What's the trick to getting Text Style dialouge box to open?
