Deployment of DWG TrueView 2013 on Windows 7 x64

Hi,

 

I'm looking for some help with installing DWG Trueview 2013 on Windows 7 x64 through group policy's. I was able to successfully deploy DWG TrueView 2013 x86 on Windows 7 x86without any problems by GPO Deployment Methods. I used the mst files located in the SetupRes folder so I was able to deploy through GPO and not get the error message that I should run setup.exe

 

Now I did the same with the x64 version of DWG TrueView on a Windows 7 x64 computer but I receive the following error message:

 

Product: DWG TrueView 2013 -- Error 1904. Module C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\acipps16.dll failed to register.  HRESULT -2147024770.  Contact your support personnel.

 

 

Is there anyone able to help me fix this? I have tried to get support through the subscription center but I can't select DWG TrueView as product.

 

 

Kind regards

Hi there. I am having a similar issue to you. Unfortunately David Lau of Autodesk says " The direct download links are is something that Autodesk is not providing anymore."

 

This will mean that deployment of DWG Trueview as a standalone application will no longer be supported.

 

I will subscribe to your post to see if you receive the help you require. If I receive the same assistance before you I will let you know. My post is 2 below yours on the same page.

Hi Peter,

 

I'm looking into your inquiry and will follow up accordingly. Thank you very much for your patience in the mean time.

Thank you very much for your reply. I hope you will find an awnser for this problem. It is quite annoying what we can't deploy Trueview to our new x64 workstations.

Deploying a batchfile through GPO works for me.

 

[code]

if exist "%programfiles%\Autodesk\DWG TrueView 2013\dwgviewr.exe" goto eof

 

start /wait "\\ServerName\Software\AutoCAD Viewer\2013\x64\setup.exe" /q /w /t "\\ServerName\Software\AutoCAD Viewer\2013\x64\setup.ini"

 

:eof

exit

[/code]

 

Good luck.

Ofcourse it will work if I run a bat file wich calls the exe. But then you are missing the whole point of deploying the msi to a workstation.

 

Does anyone of autodesk still reads this topic?

Message 17 of 24

Well, Autodesk doesn't respond that much (eg. http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Installation-Licensing/msi-in-GPO-not-working-quot-Run-Setup-exe-to-in...).

 

For some dark, mysterious reason, it's impossiple to push the msi directly from your GPO without problems (eg. Computer>Policies>Software Settings>Assigned Applications>dwgviewr.msi with or without transform file), so you might as well give up trying & whining, apply a workaround, do the exotic deployment and focus to your end goal: Trueview deployment.

 

I've rewritten my batch, with a little improvement.

 

[code]

:: check for previous installations

if exist "%programfiles%\Autodesk\DWG TrueView 2012\dwgviewr.exe" goto 2012

if exist "%programfiles%\Autodesk\DWG TrueView 2013\dwgviewr.exe" goto eof

 

:2012

:: remove 2012

msiexec /qn /norestart /x "ServerName\Software\AutoCAD Viewer\2012\x64\x64\dwgviewr\dwgviewr.msi"

 

:: setup 2013

msiexec /qn /norestart /i "ServerName\Software\AutoCAD Viewer\2013\x64\x64\dwgviewr\dwgviewr.msi"

 

:eof

exit

[/code]

 

Good luck.

Thanks for your input. However I do hope someone of Autodesk will read this and will reply 🙂

As a staunch supporter of PLEASE HIRE MORE MODERATORS to participate in Autodesk discussion groups, I'll  acknowledge here that the new exe appears to work for 64-bit W7.

 

Good luck with the GPO.
