"Windows cannot find C/ProgramFiles...AutoCAD 2022/acad.exe"

zow419 · ‎11-16-2023

I uninstalled AutoCAD 2022 fully (uninstalled all AutoCAD apps from uninstall window), and reinstalled 2023. Now DRW's that I launch SPECIFICALLY when AutoCAD isn't open throw a routing error like the title. Already tried to have the DRW's open with my actual AutoCAD 2023/acad.exe, but to no avail. Also tried routing to AcShellEx application in AutoCAD Shared, but still doesn't work. Somehow I need access to the AutoCAD DRW Launcher pathing to directly change it's route.

Very dumb as it all works fine if I just open my AutoCAD 2023 before opening the DRW. However, I WANT THIS TO WORK!

Can you try this solution? https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Error-Windows-cann...

Make sure you back up the registry key before you modify it, just in case you need to restore it later.
