ObjectARX wizard 2019 installs, but doesn't do anything?

[madpanda]

I have VS Community 2017,  And when I go to "Visual C++\Autodesk" ObjectARX/DBX Project and ObjectARX/DBX/OMF Project populate in the selection tab, but when I click on either one and press "OK" Then New Project window minimizes and maximizes and nothing else happens. I can't continue. Anyone else have this issue?

Hi,

Hope you are working on Windows 10 ?, I have just checked on VS Community, it works for me the wizards.

Can you please go to this location- 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\vcprojects\Autodesk

You 'll find "ArxAppWiz.vsz", Open with any Ascii editor like Notepad ++, please paste the contents here.

I'm happy to help you.

Hi, this is what my "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\vcprojects\Autodesk\ArxAppWiz.vsz" looks like

VSWIZARD 7.0
Wizard=VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.15.0
Param="WIZARD_NAME = ArxAppWiz"
Param="ABSOLUTE_PATH = [TARGETDIR]ArxAppWiz"
Param="FALLBACK_LCID = 1033"

Thanks for information,

Please install with admin privileges.

1. Uninstall Wizard
2. Launch Command Prompt with Administrator Mode
3. msiexec /i <wizard.msi>

That worked, I also uninstalled the .net wizards which won't install normally because they require .net 4.7 

[moogalm]

Yes, minimum .NET 4.7 framework is required.

I got the same issue here. Though I tried <msiexec.exe /i "Fobjectarxwizard2019.msi">, I still can't start an Arx project from the wizard. I have .Net 4.7.2 framework. Would this cause the problem? I have issues with the .Net wizard before but solved followed the direction in this post: cannot-install-autocad-2019-net-wizard

Sorry, I missed "Launch Command Prompt with Administrator Mode".  Finally it worked. I have to get to the Windows/system32 folder and run the cmd.exe as admin. 

Thank you very much.
