I am unable to install AutoCad LT 2013 on my Windows 7 x64 system. Everytime I try to install I get the error message:
"The system cannot open the device or file specified.
C:\Users\Eric\AppData\Local\Temp\_AI194B.tmp\x86\en-us\Components\adr2013\SetupDesignReview2013.msi."
I can go to that folder and that file is there. However, if I try to run that file it then gives me errors about other missing files, that are not in that folder.
I have tried this with Multiple Logins, including the Adminstrator. I have also, completely wiped out the system and reinstalled Windows 7 from scratch.
I have set the UAC to the lowest level.
I have also tried another DVD, and tried copying the files to the machine. No matter what I try I get this same message.
One other thing, this is the 2013 Upgrade.

Solved by pendean. Go to Solution.
Restart Windows and skip installing all the extra apps that got hung-up (read your error message carefully, it tells you which one). See if that helps.
Not sure I understand what you mean? How do I "skip the install"...I am putting in the DVD and running the applciation...I have tried running the setup from the x64 folder on the dvd, but that didn't help either.
Is there not a choice to install in a Custom way?
Pick and choose what to install?
Most installation programs have this option though I cannot rmember if CAD does.

It never gets that far.
I put in the CD I get this window:
I click "Run Setup.exe" I get this window:
Then this winodw pops up:
If I click OK, it closes the install.
Nope. And I have tried running the file it calls out and the just then tells me other files are missing from that temp folder.
this may or may not help
try copying the whole DVD to your hard drive and run the install from there

Did that, didn't make a difference. I am thinking this might be a 64-bit issue. I have a couple of other systems that are running 32-bit and the install worked fine on those.
You do seem to be trying to install trhe 32bit version of LT on Win7 64bit: which will fail all the time.
Navigate to the disk in Windows Explorer and find the 64bit Installation to activate: bet you have the 32bit disk in and that's the problem.
Who has the 64bit disk in your office? If you canot find it, grab the demo from the Autodesk site, it's the same exact product.
The disk has both versions on it. I have gone on the disk to the 64bit folder, and when I run that it doesn't work either.
Go grab the 64bit trial download from Autodesk's website and use that for the installation.
Empty that TEMP folder listed in the pop-up, do not run anything from there like you did last time.
Ensure that you restart Win7, turn off all running background applications, be logged in as full administrator in Windows 7, and run the downloaded installer. I recommend you perform a complete download first and resist installing while downloading.
If you are still having issues, you need to share all the above information in a repost to the Installation forum at

So, I reinstalled Windows 7 x64. Then downloaded the Trial Software from AutoDesk. Sure enough it installed correctly.
Thanks for all you help!!
Great news: I suspect (you need to verify it with your IT) that your Windows is set to find and run the first EXE it finds on a disk and that may have been the problem. Worth turning that ability off as it exposes your system to possible virus installations etc.
Once again I am experiencing the same problem. Only this time, I am running the downloaded version from AutoDesk.
I reinstalled Windows 7 x64 on my computer, and when I try to get run the install I get the same error.
Why would the x64 version be trying to run a file from the x86 folder?
Has anyone else seen this issue?
I didn't it is a different machine.
But I was able to get it to install. This time in order to get it to install I had to login as the Local Administrator and turn off my Trend Micro AntiVirus.
Luckily I am the IT admin here so I am able to do these things.
Can I add to this discussion because we had the exact same problem as the first email on 3-7-13. The odd thing is that we have two identical laptops running WIN7/64 and two identical copies of AutoCAD LT2013 - and the standard installation worked perfectly on one laptop. Of note, the CD/DVD indicates that it is good for 32/64 bit installations, i.e. no seperate CD.
So I went into the CD and navigated to the x64/en-US folder and ran setup from there. Now it can't find another file - acadltlp.msi. What to do?
Brilliant - it worked, thank you! And you didn't even know that we were also using Trend Micro AV when you made your suggestion.
