Hello,
I have a customer that is hvaing some issues with an error upon starting Autocad LT 2013.
The error code is attached.
The error is 1325 "%username%" is not a valid short file name
I have followed the resolution steps found here: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=2864028&linkID=9240617
They did not help resolve the issues.
I found the workaround listed here: http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/msi-error-1325-username-is-not-a-valid-short-file-name-tip6686
This works, but I will need to create a batch script that will write these registry entries automatically, which my customer does NOT want to do... They just want it to work.
The only way I have found to resolve the issues is to create a script that copies the Local Admin registry entries to the currently logged in user.
This is a domain user without local administrator access to the machine.
They have 3 other users that are working with no issues.
Please help me get my customer back online.
Thank you,

Welcome to the Autodesk Forums!
Was the Program installed as an Administrator?
When the user first opened the AutoCAD LT Seat did they do so an Administrator?
Typically this needs ot be done for the first instance and activation of the program.
