AutoCAD 2014 and Windows 8.1

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

Recently I have upgraded my Windows 8 OS to 8.1. Before it, AutoCAD 2014 was working fine, without problems. But once the Windows upgrade was finished it  is impossible to run AutoCAD. When in loading screen, AutoCAD crashes. Does "AutoCAD Service Pack 1" or "Model Documentation Hotfix for 64-bit Windows 8.1" solve my problem? If not, there is any hotfix or AutoCAD upgrade to improve compatibility between AutoCAD 2014 and Windows 8.1? I have spent for hours looking for help in Autodesk web unsuccessfully.

Thanks for all.

uninstalling ms visual c++ 2008 does not work. I've got an idea. How about autodesk opening 2015 for student downloads and upgrading all the windows 8.1 paid users???????

I am afraid that that is not the case.

I have Windows 8.1 64bit. I have tried to install both the 64 and tried the 32 (just in case).

Autocad 2015 has the following error (attached);

This is an Autocad error in this instance, and not Windows, as I am fully able to download and install any and all programmes that have Windows 8.1 compatability.

This solution is really juicy! 🙂 just overwrite the setup.ini file and that's enough.

Well, what you need to do is running xforce 32 bit or 64 bit as your administration.

Good luck
