what OS are you currently on? 

Also, is the error when it's running or during the installation?

Hi Mike,

I am on Windows 11 Pro x64. The error runs when I open AutoCAD and it closes down immediately - the installation was fine.

Regards,

Morning @elisabetta_meggiolaro 

Unfortunately, that's the issue. W11 isn't supported for 2020 and older versions, and C++/NET is an issue.

Soory I don't have better news.

The reason I installed AutoCAD 2018 is because I wanted to use Vehicle Tracking 2018 license with it. Is there any other way I can use Vehicle Tracking itself with an old Autodesk license and not the AEC collection? Thank you.

• Vehicle tracking is included only with the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Collection. 

Gotcha..

Do you have access to a W10 machine? 

[elisabetta_meggiolaro · Accepted solution]

Yes, I do have also access to W10 machines. Would version 2018 work in those? Thank you for your help.

Yes with all of the updates:
