Our non-CAD users used to search text in DWG using Autodesk Design Review.
But nowadays ADR refuses to open DWG with message "Opening DWG files in Design Review requires the latest version of the free DWG TrueView
program be installed".
I'm a CADmanager thus have a bit of Autodesk software installed on my PC:
DWG extension is associated with DWG TrueView 2015.
I can reproduce the issue by attempt to open DWG with ADR:
"Learn more" button leads to page http://www.autodesk.com/products/dwg/viewers which IMHO doesn't explain the root of problem.
Any ideas on how to solve the issue?
PS: Pity there is no button "escalate to salesforce" in ADR forum.

Thank for your answer.
Attempt to apply workaroud by modifying registry changed things a bit.
Now I'm getting message "The current installation of DWG TrueView has been modified. Please reinstall the latest version of DWG TrueView to open DWG files in Design Review."
BTW, Isn't doubled backslash "\\" in location value should be single backslahes "\"? (I've tried both with the same negative result)
