Jennyc Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Something went wrong when I tried to install AutoCAD 2006 and I need to uninstall then reinstall, but when I try to uninstall I get a message that says ".NET is not installed. AutoCAD 2006 cannot be installed without this component. See your system administrator for more information." I read somewhere that Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 is required for cad 2006 so I installed that, it didn't work. Then I read that the acad.exe.config file may be preventing .NET framework 1.1 from running because it tells it to use the most recent version of .NET framework. I guess there is a way to change the config file but I don't know how to do that. So I uninstalled all .NET framework versions except 1.1 and I still get the same error message. Any advice?

ReMark Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Yes. Try doing the uninstall from Safe Mode. Maybe that will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 On the Autodesk website there is a detailed description of how to uninstall an Autocad installation. Any peripheral stuff needs to be uninstalled before the program itself. Sorry I don't have the link handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I believe this is the link Dadgad was referring to. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=2887771&linkID=9240617 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennyc Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 The uninstall didn't work in Safe Mode. It gave me this error message: The Windows Installer service is not accessible in Safe Mode. Please try again when your computer is not in Safe Mode or you can use System Restore to return your machine to a previous good state. I had already tried uninstalling peripheral stuff and that didn't work either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 What version of Windows are you running? Just to confirm....you have .NET Framework 1.1 currently loaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
