Installation & Licensing

[#1]

While I have administrator rights, I also set the program to run as administrator, and it has not solved the problem. Every time I restart the computer, it does the 1st run initialization.

[#2]

no solutions that work yet?

[#3]

Also looking for a fix. Running AutoCAD 2012 SP1 on WIndows XP SP3; getting "First run initializing..." message on every first load after startup. Very slow. I have local admin rights, but have also tried running as administrator. Problem persists. Desire to hurl computer out window also persists.

[#4]

Addendum: same issue on my laptop running 64 bit AutoCAD 2012 on 64 bit Windows 7.

[#5]

No solutions yet. Have completely uninstalled AutoCAD, and reinstalled. Still the problem with First Run Initialization persists. This is more than a little frustrating. Autodesk, can you please provide some help/guidance?

[#6]

What if I don't want to give all the users in the office Local Administrative Rights?

[#7]

Even if you did, it wouldn't fix the problem.  I have it on my home computer and it still gives the error.

[#8]

no fixes yet.... it can't be that hard

[#9]

i wonder when autodesk will come up with the solution on this? i've tried all that was suggested and nothings work.

[#10]

I'm still having this problem even though, as most others have said, I'm an Administrator and have set it to "Run as administrator" it still runs first time initialising after a re-boot.  Has anyone found a solution yet?
