setupUi.dll not found

thisisnikk — Mon, 10 Oct 2016 22:33:03 GMT

Good day. i recently downloaded autocad 2015 64 bit from the official website but when i finish the extraction, it says setupUi.dll not found. ive repeated the extraction part but still, same results. I found a similar discussion regarding autocad 2016 encountering the same problem. I didnt find and setup.ini file in the newly extracted folder of autodesk where i could change the path. there is only a setup.EXE file. Anyway, can anyone give me a step by step way to fix this? i really need to start with my project. thanks so much

Welcome to the community..

Download and install per:

1. Access the Autodesk Virtual Agent and follow the download links to your product.
2. Download all of the parts (some applications only have a single part to download) for your product first. Do not continue until all of the parts have fully downloaded.
3. Navigate to your download folder location and extract (double click) part _001_00X.sfx.exe (or the single file download).
4. In a few seconds the extraction will start and prompt you to extract to C:\Autodesk.
5. Once the extraction is finished, the installation will automatically start.
6. Follow the installation steps for your product

If you want the full recommended installation steps, click on the installation link in my signature.

However if the installation does fail using this method, please post your installation log file here so we can review it. Posting info: Sometimes installation log files contain personal information such as your serial #. Prior to posting your log file please make sure to remove such info.

Good luck on your installation and report back on your progress.

I'm creating server deployments and discovered that, in some cases, I had to use the c:\Autodesk directory to expand the original packages. I could then create the final deployments anywhere on the system - in my case, on a secondary drive share. But, unpacking the original .sfx any place but c:\Autodesk resulted in the erroneous messages about the 'missing' SetupUI.dll.

Allow the .sfx to unpack into its default location and, then, set the deployment location to the preferred path.
