Any ideas why I can no longer open a DWG by double-clicking the file from Windows Explorer (Windows 7 x64)? I have Building Design Suite 2015 installed, and this has never been a problem with 2013 or 2014. If I right-click the file and select "Open With...", AutoCAD DWG Launcher is selected (See attachment). However, when I double-click the file, nothing happens. If I change the default program to acad.exe, the file will open, but multiple files open multiple instances of AutoCAD.
Originally, I installed 2015 next to 2014, but since having the problem, I completely uninstalled all Autodesk products and installed 2015 "clean". Any ideas what might be happening?
Thanks

Well, I started from scratch a 2nd time and re-installed the Suite. Everything seems to be working fine now. Odd. Hopefully everythign sticks so I don't have to go through that again.
For reference, yes, I am using Windows 7 x64.
The problem is that Autodesk has included the application "AcLauncher.exe" as the default for openning DWG files. Just go to Explorer and change the OPEN WITH application to ADAD.EXE, located in the installation folder (the icon should also be there).
If it keeps not working, try seting SDI to 0.
