ReMark Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I would think that you could do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I would assume it will install fine.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 One answer to a similar question I found online was this.... "AutoCAD LT is designed for Windows 98 , there is one possibility to run it on the system by right clicking on the AutoCAD LT 98 setup file and then choose properties , then go to compatibility option and choose Windows 98 for it and then press OK/Apply then double click on the setup once again it should install the program and you will be able to run it too."

f700es Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I guess you could always try one of the currently free AutoCAD LT clones out there. draftsight doubleCAD nanoCAD are three that are free and run well on modern systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_O'neill Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 If you can't get it to work, kick it to the curb and download Draftsight. It's free and a very good, completely compatible program that will do everything LT will do and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
