AEC crashes ADT 3.3 and ADT 2i

I have upgraded OS to XP Pro and have installed ADT2i and then trial of
ADT3.3 Neither program will allow use of AEC objects or dwg templates, I
get a Fatal Error; Attempt to delete AecDatabaseData which still has
registered dependants.

The menu line says could not load requested module "C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Autodesk Shared\AecBase20.dbx".

I cannot open any existing drawings that contain Aec Objects.

Please assist.

Craig.

Crag,

Run a reinstallation of ADT. Select the option named as "Repair AEC loading
mechanism". That might fix the problem.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong because I don't know for sure but I
don't believe that those 2 programs can co-exist on the same drive/machine.
A search through these newsgroups should yield an answer to that.

Alfred,

Thank you for the suggestion. I reinstalled ADT2i and can now use the
metric aec template, however no AEC applications are loaded. I could not
find the Repair AEC loading mechanism option, is this in ADT 3.3 only? If I
load AecData.dbx by manually looking for the file, same error about
dependants comes up and it crashes again. Also on loading I get a error
that the shortcut has a bad profile in the ADT.arg and that the one in the
registry will be substituted.

Craig,

Yes, that option is in the ADT3.3 installation CD. Also, I think the problem might be
caused for trying to have ADT2i and ADT3.3 installed in the same machine. Why don't
you just leave one version?

Alfredo,

I have only ADT2i on the machine at present. I would like to be able to go
back to a fully functioning 2i before I load 3.3 again. I am reluctant to
try 3.3 again until I,( with the assistance of people like yourself), have
repaired the problem. I would like to know what caused the error in the
first place.

Craig,

The problem might have been caused when you tried to have the two programs
simultaneously. I understand that these two versions cannot coexist in the same
system.

Alfredo,

I think you are right, I should not have installed 3.3 with 2, however 3.3
and 2i are supposed to be able to coexist on same box.

I still haven't been able to "clean" my machine to ensure a clean install as
the problems persist after removal and re-installation.

Do you know of a sure fire way to rid an XP Pro box of ADT (without
formatting and reloading the OS I mean!)

Craig,

After the uninstallations of both programs, make sure that you remove the
folders as well. Then, re-start the machine, and install ADT3.3 again. That
should work.

Arch Desktop 2i and 3.3 can co-exist on the same
system.  The following is the install order that must be followed to allow
these products to function on the same system:
1. Install Arch Desktop
2i.

2. Install service pack 1 for Arch
Desktop 2i.

3. Install Arch Desktop 3.3.

 

And that should about cover it.  Since you
have had problems with your previous installations, I would recommend
uninstalling and reinstalling all of your Autodesk software according to the
following solution:

Tony,

 

I have uninstalled all Autodesk products, and have
followed TS45252 exactly. I spent some time removing every entry in the registry
that was related to Autodesk products.  I rebooted and the system was
OK.  I then installed ADT 2i and continue to have the same problem (no AEC
functionality without crash.)

 

There must be some file relied on by ADT which is
not overwritten during the install process or some registry setting that I have
not identified, which needs deleting.

 

I notice during installation if I squint at the
files screaming across the screen that entries / alterations occur in Window
System 32 folder.

 

Can you shed any light on what else I might
try.

 

Craig.

Craig,

I ran into similar problem when we upgraded
computer and got XP as the OS. I finally had to contact AutoDesk and they faxed
to me specific instuctions for doing a 'clean' uninstall. I have had other
problems since but the AEC loading mech. is working fine.

I am bucking to have 2000 OS installed instead of
the XP. I have that at home and I have not had to reboot comp. for 7+ months now
and ADT runs 24/7.

Hope this sheds some light for ya.
