New AutoCAD Subscription Bonus Pack 1 will not install on AutoCAD Mech 2009

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know why the new Bonus Pack will not install on a PC with AutoCAD Mechanical 2009 installed. I downloaded the 64bit version to install on a 64bit PC but get the message during installation that an AutoCAD 2009 "related" product must be installed before installing the bonus pack. If AutoCAD Mechanical 2009 isn'y related then I don't know what is.

Gary,

You'll probably get a better answer over in the "autodesk.autocadmechanical"
discussion group, but I do know that "vanilla" AutoCAD service packs and
bonus packs don't install on an AutoCAD "Vertical" application. The AutoCAD
Mechanical team has to post their version of the service pack or bonus pack,
and especially when it comes to service packs they include fixes for their
functionality as well. They try to post their versions as soon after the
"vanilla" version as possible but it has to lag because it includes the
"vanilla" version.
