Fatal error e0434352h - CLR exception

[AllenJessup]

Last week I had out IT Dept. install a large portion of the 2024 AEC Collection on my computer. All programs except those vertical to AutoCAD will run. AutoCAD and anything based on it will not run. While the program
is opening. I get an FE, e0434352h, which turns out to be a CLR exception. That seems to be tied to .NET.
I checked and I have .NET framework 4.8.09037 which is supposed to be sufficient for the programs.

I checked the Log and only see one component failing

I've seen some suggestions . Mainly a Clean Install, update .NET Framework, Removing KB5018545 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 and 4.8.1 for Windows 10 Version 21H2, installing current Adsk updates (they would have been included in the deployment built last week). Most IT would be resistant to or will take time waiting for them.

I was wondering if there were any other suggestions on dealing with this.

For the 561 error, there's a Maya article. Is basically says to remove a couple of lines from a deployment xml file. You could try searching / removing the lines with the UPI2-codes and retry the installation?

@AllenJessup 

Do you have any customization at all? 

Try a clean download and try installing it.. 

I've seen some issues with deployments and settings the last 2 weeks.

[AllenJessup]

@Simon_Weel Thanks. I'll look into that.

[AllenJessup]

@mdavis22569 Thanks, but there wasn't any customization.

[mdavis22569]

Have you tried a regular installer and not deploying? 

[AllenJessup]

@mdavis22569 No. Every time I "Try something" I have to get IT involved. So I'm trying to get a list of the most likely.

I think the first thing I'm going to do is to modify a copy of the <Install>.bat file to uninstall all the Autocad dependent programs. Then try a Clean Install of just those.

[mdavis22569]

I only mentioned .. that when I see a deployment issue, I go to the full online on one PC.  This tells me if it could be the deployment as the issue, or if it could be a permissions / PC issue.       When you said I need IT to try these things. That tends to have me looking back at the permission/access as an issue. 

Hoping you get it resolved quickly.

Yes. I've learned that the installation has to happen from the users account. NOT the IT Admin account. Installing from the IT Admin profile leads to a pathing nightmare.

OK. Uninstalling & Reinstalling all the AutoCAD based software worked. There was an error that some programs weren't installed. But Civil 3D works and that is our Main program.

I do see in the log:

Skipped install for bundle: Autodesk AutoCAD Electrical 2024 - English (UPI2: {EAA5522C-B134-3536-B63E-89DDCE11927D})

Which would point to the suggestion by @Simon_Weel.

I'm not concerned with that right now.

I'm now going to recreate all the deployments on the theory that there was an error in the original one. So best to recreate them all.

BTW. Having IT run the modified BAT file to do the uninstall was tedious. The BAT file fired the Installer for each line (about a dozen). So the IT person had to enter name and password for each one. If this had to be done again. I'd get them to login as Admin and run it. Then run the reinstall from my profile.
