As an addendum...figured I would add it here instead of the thread
mentioned below.
The thread mentioned and ACA.msi file, whereas for C3D it's the C3D.msi
file.
I have personally installed C3D 2008 along with LDT and even Raster
Design on a 64-bit OS. All is working VERY well so far, minus the Land
Companion-Enabled Map. It worked for a while (a day) on a rather busy
drawing with FDO connections and numerous AECC points, then wouldn't let
me save once I got it opened. I worked on it in LDT and C3D afterwards
with no problem at all, so I believe it has a lot to do with the LC-EM
install or coding.
Finally, I didn't get the added entries where it was mentioned that
would be found in the options paths. I guess that was just for that
vertical....
