Autocad 2011 administrator guide¿?

[mp]

Hello, someone can tell me where to download the autocad 2011 administrator guide? in 2010 came with the installer and it was very useful to make the installation by GPO, now I'm following this guide but I have a bug with the language pack (adui18res.dll) and I would refer to the Guide updated, which I can´t found

You will find the Install and licensing documentation that you are looking for as Microsoft Compiled HTML Help (.chm) files:

• 1. Go to "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\<2011 Product>\Help\"
• 2. Then open either:

acad_install.chm (Install and Deployment Documentation)

adsk_brw.chm (Stand-Alone and Network License manager documentation)

The documentation for the GPO method of install can be found by opening the acad_install.chm then > ‘Distributing an Autodesk Program' > ‘Use Group Policies to Run a Deployment.'

It sounds like the installer is failing because Prerequisites have not been installed. The 2011 Prerequisites for the GPO install method are:

Available on the product disc:

• Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1
• DirectX 9.0C
• VC++ 2008 SP1 and VC++2005 SP1 runtimes for x86 operating systems; VC++2008 SP1 and VC++2005 SP1 runtimes for x64 for 64-bit operating systems
• Microsoft National Language Support Downlevel APIs
• FARO LS
• Autodesk Design Review 2011 (Not installed by default)
• Macromedia Flash Player 9.0 or later (Not installed by default)
• Autodesk Material Library 2011(CM)
• Autodesk Material Library 2011 Base Image Library (ILL)
• Autodesk Material Library 2011(CM)

Other:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7.0 Service Pack 1 or later. You can download Microsoft Internet Explorer from the Microsoft website by visiting www.microsoft.com.
• Microsoft Installer Package (MSI) 4.5
• Microsoft Windows Media Format 9.5 (prerequisite for 64-bit)

Hi Douglas, thank you very much for your quick response!
I will check the prerequisites, I was just searching the web, I found only hardware requirements and I could not imagine that they had adopted the use of chm. files.
My machines are current with Microsoft updates, but I probably miss some of the detail I went through.
Assuming that all machines have Autocad 2010 installed, what is the new requirement?
In my organization I have Autocad 2010 distributed by GPO, so to get the machines out of the scope of the GPO, then uninstall Autocad 2010, adding the same machine to a new GPO for deploy Autocad 201,1 in 15 uninstalls and install the new version, it works great, but I is missing the new version to work, for this I need to add a new GPO and / or any modification to add new requirements.

My previous response is not going to work for plain AutoCAD 2011. AutoCAD 2011 documentation is now in HTML and hosted at autodesk.com. You will find the documentation for plain AutoCAD 2011 here.

Also, for your convenience, is a link directly to the Use Group Policies to Run a Deployment topic.

The CHM files I reference are specific to AutoCAD Map 3D 2011 and may apply to other AutoCAD verticals.
