Civil 3d 2016 - RUN SETUP.EXE TO INSTALL AUTOCAD 2016

[mikeshick]

I get the statement above every time I ope a program called CFS (cold form steel).  I also have Architecture 2016 installed, and tried a reinstall on this, but no betta.

Any ideas what is causing this?

You'd have to contact the creator of CFS or install basic AutoCAD. It probably is looking for a registry entry that is created when AutoCAD is installed. Civil 3D gets installed in the registry in the same location, but has a different folder.

The problem only started after I loaded C3D 2016 and Arch 2016 on one machine.  When I loaded on a second machine, it didn't have any problems with CFS.  I've had CFS loaded for years without that requirement.  Any other ideas?

Oh...that's kind of horrible.  Must it require an uninstall....after a few hours of setup 😞

Hi mikeshick,

I do understand your frustration. At this time the only fix that we have available is to perform a clean uninstall/reinstall. Our development team is currently looking to see if a fix can be provided in a future release or update.

Best regards

I'm getting the same message "Run Setup.exe to install AutoCAD 2016" every time I start Microsoft Word!!!!!!!

Hello,

I have today the same failure with AutoCAD Civil 3D 2018. And I repair Civil 3D and the Problem was solved. I think it is a better alternative.

Best wishes

After I have done a repair for Autocad 2018, my simulation programs worked.
