Prerequisites for AutoCAD 2022 Electrical not met

[administratoren]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to install AutoCAD 2022 Electrical on an x64 Windows, with a 32-bit version of Office (can't change this, because it's a corporate environment) installed. Electrical asks for a 64-bit version of Access Database Engine. I installed this according to this manual https://knowledge.autodesk.com/de/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/DEU/H... 

But the error still persists and the AutoCAD installer keeps saying, that ADE 2016 x64 is not installed. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Which Microsoft Office version have you installed ? 2013, 2016, 365 ?

Edit:

And can you please post a screenshot of the error you get.

Office 2016 x86 is installed.

Here's a screenshot of the error generated by the installer ran in non-silent mode. Access Database Engine x64 is installed at this point, which also can be seen in the installed programs in Windows.

Ther error message basically says that the 64-bit version of Access Database Engine 2016 is required for the installation.

The installation completed without any errors now. I'm going to let the AutoCAD users test the application now.

Thanks.
