Autodesk 2025 products
Autodesk recently published the 2025 editions of their products. Most notably this time, with the exception of 3ds Max 2025, is that the file numbered 001_002 is a short .exe file, while the file numbered 002_002 is a complete 7-Zip archive.

It’s the same story all over again. Manually repairing or installing x86 and x64 versions of MS Visual C++ Runtimes bundled with ACAD 2020 makes the latter finally run as expected.

Today I got error 1603 while installing Autodesk Revit 2019 on a student’s laptop. The best solution is to uninstall all Microsoft Visual C++ runtimes, reboot the computer, and let the Revit installer get its way installing the supplied versions.

A student experienced Revit 2018.1 giving him this rather useless error message: Licensing System Error 1 After Googling for a solution, we installed/repaired all the Visual C++ runtimes we could find in 3rdParty\x64\VCRedist and in 3rdParty\x86\VCRedist from the Revit 2018 distribution. Success! Shame on lazy developers not willing to code reasonable error messages explaning what […]

Yesterday, a student installed Autodesk Revit 2018 on his Windows 10 x64 laptop. He then upgraded to Revit 2018.1. After entering the licensing details, Revit crashed. Installing the latest drivers from nVidia, currently at version 385.41, and rebooting the laptop saved us from any more grief.

After installing Autodesk Revit 2017 on a student’s laptop, the software started whining about missing msvcr100.dll. This was solved by repairing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4, both x86 and x64.

Autodesk Vault Professional 2017 and Autodesk Network License Manager
I was installing Autodesk Vault Professional 2017 in the wee hours today, and I noticed the Autodesk Network License Manager was installed in C:\Autodesk\Network License Manager. That’s a bit strange when C:\Autodesk has until now been a temporary location for extracting the setup files. I can confirm moving the files to a saner location like […]

If AutoCAD 2015 refuse to install, try to uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable, both 32-bit and 64-bit, and try to reinstall AutoCAD 2015. In one instance was it necessary to uncheck Autodesk ReCap. I really wish there was a simple way to mark only the essential parts necessary for the creation of simple drawings. […]

Sometimes McAfee products causes more grief than joy. For some mysterious reason, some, if not all, McAfee products interfer with the handling of VBScript as they register their own .dll file for handling VBScript. Not all attempts at manually correcting the Windows Registry prove successful. In most cases McAfee Consumer Product Removal tool are able […]
