Autocad Architecture 2010 and Windows 7 64bit

[Anonymous]

I tried installing ACA 2010in my new Windows 7 64bit laptop and I get the message "you cannot install this product in this operating system"

Then I tried following these procedure for ACA 2008:

1. Download and install Orca from Microsoft.
2. Copy the installation files to your hard drive or a network folder.
3. Backup the files ACA.msi and Setup.ini
4. Edit the ACA.msi with Orca and delete the action found in the table
"InstallExecuteSequence" that is called "CheckFor64BitOS" Delete the same
line under table "CustomAction"
5. Save and close the ACA.msi
6. Edit the Setup.ini with Notepad. Delete the line under
"#==================== Platform Requirement" that is labeled
"PLATFORM=NO_WOW_64_PROCESS"
7. Double-click the Setup.exe and you should be able to install without any
problems.
8. Some support paths under the "Files" tab of the configuration dialog box
have incorrect paths. The installer adds and extra "\AppData\AppData" to
some support paths located in the user profile. For example the Main
Customization File's path is listed as
"C:\Users\%username%\AppData\AppData\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ACD-A
2008\enu\Support\ADT" when it should be
"C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ACD-A 2008\enu\Support\ADT"
Fix the incorrect paths, hit apply, and you are good to go.

I was able to edit the ACA files with Orca and the relevant lines were there. Then when I tried editing the setup.ini files I did not see the line PLATFORM=NO_WOW_64_PROCESS. What I get is this:

#==================== Platform Requirement

OSMAJVER=5
OSMINVER=1
SPMAJVER=2

I left everything untouched and then tried running the setup.exe and when i click to install I get the same message as before.

What should I do to be able to install ACA 2010 in my computer?

use the correct dvd or pick the correct version 32
or 64 bit version to install on the disk. you can only install a 64bit version
on a 64bit Os and 32bit version on a 32bit os. It appears you are trying to
install 32bit ACA on 64bit win 7. ACA 2010 comes with both versions

Any particular reason you can't just install the 64-bit version of ACA?
It's on the DVD. If you're downloading it, then make sure you pick the
right version as the 32-bit and 64-bit versions are separate installation
files.

The method of shoe-horning 2008 32-bit into Windows Vista 64 may not work
with 2010 32-bit and Win7 64.
