This is the step by step proceedure I received from Autodesk Support and as of right now is working prefect.
Can you double-click and open the C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA 2011\enu\Details\Details (US)\AecDtlComponents (US).mdb file?
If not, try replacing it with a copy from a working computer.
If you can open it, it is likely a .NET issue causing the problem in ACA. Re-installing .NET using the steps below should get you going:
1. From Add/Remove Programs, uninstall all versions of .NET Framework including any service packs or hotfixes. Start at the highest version and work backwards, ignoring any errors.
2. Download and run the .NET Framework cleanup utility from the following link. Select all versions and click Cleanup Now.

If you see any errors when running this tool, keep running it over again until there are no errors.
3. Download and save the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installer from the following link:
4. Use these steps to restart your machine in Selective Startup mode:
A) On the Start menu (Windows), click Run.
B) In the Open box, enter MSCONFIG and click OK.
C) Click the Services tab at the top.
D) At the bottom (just above the OK button) click the Hide All Microsoft Services checkbox.
E) Click Disable All.
F) IMPORTANT: In the unchecked list, check the Autodesk and/or FLEXnet Licensing Services back on
G) Click the Startup tab. If there is a mix of checked/unchecked items, make a list of either. Whatever makes for a shorter list,then click Disable All.
H) Click OK and Restart Windows when prompted (just click OK on any permission error you may get.)
I) After rebooting and logging in, click OK to the MSCONFIG Warning dialog.
J) When you see MSCONFIG dialog again, click the Normal Startup button on the General tab.
K) If you made a list in step G, set the Startup tab items appropriately and click OK.
L) Click Exit Without Restart (All settings will be restored at next boot).
M) Click Start > Run. Enter %TEMP% and click OK. Delete everything in the TEMP folder.
N) Empty the Recycle Bin.
5. Run the .NET installer from the download you saved earlier.
6. When the .NET installation completes, test AutoCAD
7. If everything runs okay, restart your machine to get back to normal mode.
So im running ACA 2011 on Win764 bit.
I have followed these steps and am un successful. What should I do next. Would there be any benefit in uninstalling and reinstalling all the applicaitons?
I have the following Autodesk products on this PC:
2004 Land Desktop/Civil Design
2011 civil 3D
2013 Civil 3D
2011 ACA.
I ended up accidently resolving this myself.
I installed Revit 2011 to learn and now the problem is fixed in ACA 2011.
It was much easier and less tedious than the above mentioned steps.
I seem to be having the same problem and I have already tried uninstalling the .net framework and reinstalling it with no success. I'm guessing it must be the 32 bit vs 64 bit problem. How can I fix this?
It seems we found a solution for it!
The Problem might be that this key in the registry
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{E8540F22-D20E-483F-9FD5-A5A3553A7556}]
is not complete!
As you can see in the key it links to the "Autodesk.Aec.JetDb32.CCSharpJetDbServer"
What works with us is copying the whole [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID from a working system to the not working system.
I attached my WORKING entry here but be sure to backup before trying and there is no warranty!
Please let me know if it works for you!
I have been dealing with the same problem in ACA 2013 after a botched install of BDSP2014.
I have followed this list of instructions, after finding the appropriate tools and I removed, cleand, and reinstalled .net4.5.
This did not fix the problem. Is there an updated procedure for newer versions or something else I can do? I rely on the detail componants a lot and not being able to use them basically has me shut down or at least struggling with drawing everything manually and creating new blocks.
Hi...
did you try the registry entry, too? For us it worked and we have a few customers where it solved the problem, too!
Yes I did try the registry thing but I didn't try doing it manually.
I ended up doing a system restore to before the botched install and that worked but then there were critical updates right away and I had to reboot. The computer turned off before it could finish and it reset my system back to the last restore point and the good restore point was dropped from the list.
So I think I am back to square 1 again with this.
AutoCAD Architecture 2013-This worked for me. I have a windows 7 system x 64 with MsSql express installed, and 64bit office installed. Among those one is likely the culpret for the failed access to the database.
Thnx!
Hi,
I tried the registry entry and work fine for me.
I had this issue on AutoCAD MEP 2012, 2013 and 2014.
Now evrything works fine.
Thank you very much and best regards,
Peter
Just had same error on a 2016 install that was also affecting an existing 2013 install. Pointed the runtime version of this registry setting to the correct runtime version fixed both installs with one setting... no teardown of .NET required... no reboot required... surely the most effective way to fix this problem!
