Installing AutoCAD Express Tools on x64 system

[dogbytecomputers]

I am trying to figure out how to successfully install Express tools on a 64 bit system. I am running Windows 7 Professional x64 with AutoCAD 2002. When I try to run Express Tools it tells me that it is not made for 64 bit systems and to contact the manufacturer. I have looked all over their site and have found nothing useful. Someone has had to have had this same problem and figured out a fix for it. PLEASE share it with me. :wink: thanks

Not absolutely sure, but is possible that the ARX files from that Express pack release were compiled to be run under a 32bit operating system, so are un-usable under yours. Try to manually load one Express ARX file (Tool -> Load Application…) to see if is rejected.

 

This may be tough to accomplish, but can transfer the Express tools from an existing 32bit installation of AutoCAD 2002 to yours – need to figure out which are the files and their connections.

You're running a 32-bit piece of software on a 64-bit system right?

 

Note: I have 2004 with Express Tools loaded on a Win7 64-bit system.
