Installing AutoCAD Map 3D 2016 32-bit on a machine 64-bits

[Anonymous]

Good morning to all. We have a custom application for AutoCAD Map 3D 2007 32 bits that have to migrate to AutoCAD Map 3D 2016. The customization is done in C ++.

We managed to make the compilation in 32 bits, but the 64-bit compilation gives us an incompatibility when using the Oraclm32.lib library.

We have thought of installing AutoCAD Map 3D 2016 32-bit on a machine 64-bits whit Windows 8.1. This is possible?

That solution may use.

Sorry for my English.

Hi,

my prefered method would be to install VirutalBox or VmWare with a 32bit OS and install Map 3D into the virtual system.

An alternative (without any guarantee) could be to use the Longbow Converter (>>>click<<<), it can run the AutoCAD 32bit installer on 64bit OS, but if that is working with Map3D and then additionally with your C++ based application, I can't say yes or no to that.

Good luck, - alfred -

Hi,

Autodesk doesn't want you to install the 32bit version on a 64bit OS. Hence they have programmed their installers to prevent this.

So, officially it is not possible.

Hi,

Rob ist right, Autodesk only support AutoCAD x64 on a MS Windows x64 system. If you want use your program only inhouse vmware with 32 bit is surely a solution.

To your main problem - you use oracle objects for ole but oracle self says that "Oracle Objects for OLE is not supported on Windows x64 operating systems." The library you try to use is only 32bit and thats the reason for the incompatibilty of the library with your 64bit program.

See the following link:

You have to change your software architecture to use ASP for example. There you will find support for both 32bit and 64bit.
