CurVer in the system registry

[stardust1611]

If someone has multiple AutoCAD versions installed on the machine, how is the CurVer (current version) value set in the HKLM hive Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD? On what basis is one version selected to be the current version? Is it the last installed version, or is there some other factor that influences this? But this is not the same as the default program for the dwg file-type. If one installation is a current version, it's not neccessarily the default program for the dwg file-type? Is it?

The non-attached DVB (I say non-attached because this fantastical upgrade to the discussion groups is not allowing me to post a DVB file. I get a "The content type of the file xxxxxxxx.dvb is not allowed') pops up a message box that displays the product name of the AutoCAD that the DVB is being run from within. I.E. "AutoCAD MEP 2008".



Try this link instead. Stupid discussion groups... this is why I don't frequent this place anymore.

Is this what you're looking for?

Hi stardust1611,

It appears to be the last loaded program. I've just opened R2009, then
R2008. Then closed both and opened R2008 followed by R2009. In each
case the curver value in the registry was the last program opened.

From the viewpoint of VBA coding the following may be of help:


Debug.Print Application.Name
Debug.Print Application.Version
Debug.Print Application.FullName
