Missing Shortcut No acad.exe

Anonymous — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 14:42:02 GMT

I installed AutoCAD Civil 3D 2018 multiple times and I still can not found the acad.exe files. My AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 is still working fine and I have Googled and downloaded patch after patch and AIDA for it to work with Windows 7 with no luck.

The install file requirements I pick states that it will work on Windows 7. Now the PC's in the office has installed successfully with Windows 10, and we will have all PC's upgraded to Windows 10 if we have to. But why say it will install on Windows 7?

Thanks,

If no shortcuts appears on the desktop, and the folder c:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2018\C3D is not present and/or empty - then the install failed for some reason.

Review your install log files (should be in the %temp% folder) and post a message in the Licensing and Installation forum for further help on this.
