Missing icons after typical installation

Hello, in this image, I am showing the Options dialog box of AutoCAD Architecture 2013. This was a typical installation, no customization at all, but several icons are missing, showing just a question mark instead. Can anybody provide some help about how to fix this? I have not worked with AutoCAD for some years, and I must have missed some information regarding changes on paths and support folders. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Accepted solution

Never mind. I found the solution. Here I am posting it in case it's useful for someone else:

The solution is to add this path (or equivalent) to the Support File Search Path:

 

C:\program files\autodesk\autocad 2013\aca

 

The question remains, though, about why that folder was missing in a typical installation of ACA. oh, well...it's fixed.

I'm having this issue with the upgrade to ACA 2014.  I do, however, have the C:\program files\autodesk\autocad 2014\aca support file path, but no icons.  If it makes a difference, the migrate custom settings tool did not fully migrate all of my template locations for my custom profile so I exported my profile 'CDS-old' from ACA 2013 and imported it into '14:

The migrated profile 'CDS', oddly enough, has the icons, but did not migrate other customizations, like templates:

Am I doing something wrong here?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Turns out it was the Main Customization File.  It was looking for ACA-Global, which I did not install with 2014, but had with 2013.  Simply directed it to ACA.cuix and good to go! Smiley Happy
