AutoCAD LT Installation Error

[Paulo.Alao]

Hi,

I have installed AutoCAD 2012 LT on my work machine, but its coming up with an error - "Customization file load failed. File not found: acadlt".

My work machine is controlled by our IT, so the C: drive is locked and I only have temporary admin rights on it. Being a fresh installation, I believe this might be related to the security policies my work machine is under.

Any ideas?

Hello

Sorry I am a Frenchie very careful / paranoiac ...

A correct AutoCAD Install (for me) is :

- use a LOCAL Admin Login

- install the software from a CORRECT Master

- I imagine "no error" during install ... The Install can be a Trial/Eval (30 days) Install !

- Reboot

- use ALWAYS a LOCAL Admin Login

- launch the software, test a few DWGs

- download Service Pack / Update Pack and install

- Reboot

- use ALWAYS a LOCAL Admin Login

- launch the software, test a few DWGs

- Reboot

- use NOW a NORMAL Login

- launch the software, test a few DWGs

I know it's long but it's "my procedure" !

For AutoCAD LT 2012, you need SP 2 :

Hi Pat,

Thanks for this, I will  try your method tomorrow and let you know.

When you say "install the software from a CORRECT Master", I suppose if I am installing it straight out of the box, its kind of the same?

Thanks

Hello

I said "Correct Master" because we experience on forums with people having BAD Master of AutoCAD

(because Bad download from Autodesk Servers)

But I am positive, so I imagine you have o GOOD/VALID Master !?

Bye, Pat
