Strange, it should be on your computer if you already have Autodesk products installed. Typically this file is in the setup folder. Perhaps your 2012 files are corrupt. Based on the fact that you already have 2011 products, I doubt it is an SSE2 issue.
Yes, those files are in the setup folder, but the install does NOT know to look there.
I got it to install by copying all the files from the DVD to the hard drive, and copying many of the dlls from the setup and 'english' folders to the outer layer where the install exe was located.
But, WHY is this happening?
Ours is not to reason why...
It seems quite common that copying the media to the HDD has always been a good way to resolve strange installation errors. Thanks for posting your work-around as it may be helpful to someone down the road.
Hey, we're all in this together, right?
But - are replies in this forum from Autodesk - or from kind souls who are helping out?
I guess I'd expected a response more along the lines of "we'll have to fix that!" from Autodesk?
Thanks!
This is mostly a user forum of peers helping peers. Autodesk does review the boards though and pitch in when they can or need to. Their involvement has gotten a lot better as of late.
I just experienced the same problem with AutoCAD 2013 but fortunately I know exactly what I did to cause it.
There is an idiot feature that can be implemented by system administrators that causes the DLL Load Path to ignore "dlls in the current directory".
If you enable this, you get the complaint about LiteHtml.dll.
If you disable it, you don't.
This is a .REG file to clear out the problem, but your system admin will probably hate you loading it.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager]
"CWDIllegalInDllSearch"=dword:00000000
If you want to experience the problem, change the value to dword:FFFFFFFF
Anyone from Autodesk who is listening needs to research the SetDllDirectory() function on MSDN and call it appropriately from inside their installer.
Try checking C:\Windows\SysWOW64 for the litehtml.dll - if there is a copy there, move or rename it & try the install again. I ran into this issue when installing AutoCAD 2013. After moving the litehtml file, I got an error with another dll. It was in the same SysWOW64 folder and had the same date as the litehtml. I ended up moving all files that matched that date out of the SysWOW64 folder. After doing that, I was able to successful install the product.
Hi Travis,

Nice! You give me the solution! So I create this (Portuguese PT-BR):
Em caso de erro ao clicar no arquivo de instalação: Setup.exe, indicando a mensagem:
"The program can't start because [NOME DO ARQUIVO].dll is missing form your computer.Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
deve-se copiar todas os arquivos .DLL contigos na pasta \Setup para dentro do diretório: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
All we have to do is to copy all the DLL Files in the Setup folder inside the program folder into the Folder indicated by you: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ and the problem goes out!
Tks !
This solution did not work for me. I'm trying to install Autodesk product (Revit 2014 and Civil 3D 2014) downloaded from students.autodesk.com. I'm trying to install on a Windows 8 x64 laptop. Here is the steps I did, which doesn't work, still get the litehtml.dll error
1. login with administrator account
2. download Autodesk_Revit_2014_English_Win_32-64bit_dlm.sfx.exe
3. run the exe which does a unzip/extract to c:\autodesk
4. I get the missing litehtml.dll error
5. copy using the command prompt:
copy C:\Autodesk\Autodesk_Revit_2014_English_Win_32-64bit_dlm\setup\*.dll C:\Autodesk\Autodesk_Revit_2014_English_Win_32-64bit_dlm\
copy C:\Autodesk\Autodesk_Revit_2014_English_Win_32-64bit_dlm\en-us\*.dll to
C:\Autodesk\Autodesk_Revit_2014_English_Win_32-64bit_dlm\
6. run C:\Autodesk\Autodesk_Revit_2014_English_Win_32-64bit_dlm\setup.exe
7. Again I get the missing litehtml.dll error but the install windows freezes.
I also attempted the other suggestion in this thread about the regedit but I couldn't find the setting in Windows 8.
Any ideas how to install Autodesk products on Windows 8. Note, I'm getting similar errors with another Autodesk product, Civil 3D.
thanks,
Jeff Jensen
i am having same problem with Inventor 2013 in windows 8 (x 64 ) and also notebook
Trying to solve for hours ..
I've been having the same problems since I formatted my laptop. I did find a solution eventually thanks to the people on here so just incase anyone is still having trouble
I manged to install all my 3ds Max downloads by running them in administrator mode. For Maya and Motionbuilder, I had to copy the DLLs from the 3ds Max setup folder to the SysWOW64 folder in Windows Directory. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with running Windows8 but given that It previously ran Max 2011,12, 13 and 14 fine, it is a little odd that I had this problem this time.
All the best
Dave
