nscherneck Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 So i just got my new Sager which has Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Went to install AutoCAD 2009 and it told me that it cannot be installed on that OS. Hmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 there are different versions for 64 bit. I think you need to go back to your retailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nscherneck Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 So i assume that the installer i have is for 32-bit version? Is there any way to make it work for the 64-bit version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 During the installation of AutoCAD 2009 you are presented with a screen listing the following choices: -Read the Documentation -Install the Products -Create Deployments -Install Tools & Utilities I suggest you look under Read the Documentation and locate the following section: Install AutoDesk products for an individual user. Notice what is written under the following section: System Requirements It states: "Before you install your product on a standalone computer, make sure your computer meets the standard minimum requirements. Whether the Windows operating system is 32-bit or the 64-bit version is automatically detected when installing AutoCAD. The appropriate version of AutoCAD will be installed. The 32-bit version of Auto cannot be installed on a 64-bit version of Windows." If you are using an installer disk then you must be installing multiple products. If this so?
