AutoCad won't open

jboyle7F4A8 — Wed, 23 Sep 2020 14:13:46 GMT

I installed autocad 2020 and 2019, and when I try to open them they both give me 5 error messages and and say the code execution could not be completed because there was something missing and I should try to reinstall. When I go to my settings and the control panel to uninstall/reinstall, nothing happens when I click the button. It seems like it cannot physically uninstall, and I still can't open autocad.

What can I do?

I don't think I can do a clean uninstall, it won't let me delete some of the files that I installed with AutoCad, becasue it says the are still running, even though they aren't. And the actual AutoCad itself does not have a specified size to it, is this normal?

The usual fix for this is to restart your PC

What do you mean by that?

I mean that all the autodesk files that installed with autocad all have a size of a few MBs in the control panel. But the size for autocad is blank. Also I did not mean to click "accept solution" I still have the problem

Reboot your PC, perform a clean uninstall, prepare for a clean install (see here) - TURN OFF ANTIVIRUS, Browser Download and install again.
