Install AutoCAD 2025 - "Problem loading AcBrandRes.dll resource file."

kejunwu2-c · ‎02-09-2025

Hi all,

I encountered a problem running AutoCAD 2025. After I installed it and tried to run it, a pop-up window appeared with the prompt: "Problem loading AcBrandRes.dll resource file." I re-downloaded and installed it several times, but the same problem remained.

Thanks so much for your attention and assistance!

Does using a student id free trial hinder this mentioned solution?
