Cannot install AutoCAD 2019 .NET Wizard

vladop — Wed, 02 May 2018 05:25:45 GMT

When I try to install the Managed .NET project wizard I get this message:

Visual Studio installer shows that .NET Framework 4.7 is installed:

Release value in registry is 461808, which means that .NET Framework 4.7.2 is installed:

Any idea how to solve this?

Regards,

Vladimir

One more try...
When I try to install .NET Framework 4.7 this message box appears:

and when I try to install Wizard I get this:

These two are controversial.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Vladimir

The .NET wizard installer checks the value for "Release" (see your screenshot).

Valid values are only:

460798 or 460805 or 461308 or 461310

change temporarily your value to any of the above, install and undo your change.

Thanks Markus.

There are 4 Release DWORDs in:

1. ...v4\Client

2. ...v4\Client\1033

3. ...v4\Full

4. ...v4\Full\1033

I changed all of them to 460798 than 460805 than 461308 and finally 461310 and couldn't install the wizard.

I have Windows 10’s April 2018 Update installed.

By the way 461308 and 461310 are 4.7.1 release values:

On Windows 10 Creators Update only: 460798 On all other OS versions: 460805	.NET Framework 4.7
On Windows 10 Fall Creators Update only: 461308 On all other OS versions: 461310	.NET Framework 4.7.1

Vladimir

I forgot that the msi package is a 32-bit installation package. So you have to change the value in the 32-bit portion of the registry. But I have also created a transform, that you can install on newest W10 1803.

msiexec /i AutoCADNetWizards.msi TRANSFORMS=LcsMst4DotNet472.mst

But not yet tested because my W10 machine with VS 2017 and Acad2019 is on maintenance because I changed the harddrive.

I tried your solution on my laptop and it worked great. Then I tried it on a virtual machine and got the error "Could not locate network location [WindowsVolume].

Is this some kind of environment variable? Any suggestions?

WindowsVolume is a windows installer variable and sometimes not correct initialized.

What you can try is the following:

msiexec /i AutoCADNetWizards.msi TRANSFORMS=LcsMst4DotNet472.mst VS2017_PRO="C:\"

The variable WindowsVolume is used to initialize the public property VS2017_PRO. But you can also initialize with any other value, you give it a try, but only theory, not tested !

Hi there

thank you for your code

would you be able to elaborate a little more on what it is doing exactly? In other words, is it actually changing any registry entries? clarification much appreciated.

No this transformation does not change anything on your computer !

The transformation changes/extends only the "install conditions" in the msi package.

You can check this if you download orca (free msi editor) from Microsoft and open the msi with the mst file.

But yes, never trust software from unknown sources 😉

Anybody can update the installation file? I just downloaded one and still can't install it. I tried to modify the release number on my computer but it says I can't change it.

Ok, did some research on how to use this file. I have to type in the following in the command line (RUN):

msiexec.exe /i "D:\AutoCAD SDK\autocadnetwizards2019.msi" TRANSFORMS="D:\AutoCAD SDK\LcsMst4DotNet472.mst"

Though I can install the wizard, when I try to start a project, the 2019 wizard still tells me I need .Net framework 4.7.1.

Anybody can fix the problem.

I made a screencast to demonstrate the installation of the AutoCADDotNetWizard 2019 and to check the install conditions.

Thank you very much. The .Net wizard is working now.

Can I use this method to install objectArx wizard? I can install the ObjectArx wizard but when I start a project, the new project window just flashes and no project is created in the folder. That is for C++ projects.
