I am trying to install Autosketch 9 on my new Windows 8.1 machine. Install seems to go well. Sketch.exe is in the expected location and shows up in my list of available applications. But when I try to start it, I get a messabe box saying it cannot run because AcGe16.dll is missing.
I tried repairing the installation. No change.
I uninstalled it; disabled virus protection; reinstalled. No change.
What now? I know this is an old version, but I do not use it enough to want to upgrade.

Thank you. I ran the windows compatibility wizard on Autosketch and "a miricle occurred". It no longer reports a missing dll and seems to run just fine using XP compatibility settings.
To confirm the same error message appears after install in Windows 10....started OK on the second time of asking.
Had previously cross-checked with a working version of AS9 on Win7 and the the dll file was there and in the correct location. May be Win10 (& Win8 before it) takes time to register this file.

I am not sure what you have done.
I assume this would work for Win8
The file and its location is
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\acge16.dll
