How To Install Autocad 2006 In Windows 8

I know some might think "Who the hell uses Autocad 2006 in the year 2022?" but believe me guys many people (including my dad) however adopt using Autocad 2006 to Autocad 2007,2008 and then on.

When I first installed Windows 8 I thought the procedure might be same as compared to windows vii for installing Autocad 2006. Then after very fresh installation of windows 8 the start thing I did was to install Autocad 2006 (even before installing whatsoever drivers), Installation went smoothly as I just selected run in compatibily manner of Windows XP SP2 for the setup file. After the completion of installation I had to select the same matter (compatibility fashion windows XP SP2) for the Autocad shortcut created on desktop and tried opening the shortcut but got an error prompt of some compatibily issue where I had to select Ignore and don't show this bulletin once again. This for time being sorted out the problem and Autocad opened upwards successfully from the desktop shortcut. Just the real problem had still not got noticed until I tried opening one of the autocad file (*.dwg) there was another popup stating "An mistake occured in sending command to the application" equally shown below.

I tried opening the file by double clicking and besides thru the open file within Autocad 2006 but everytime I got this same error. Later on googling for hours I got the solution which solved my problem.

Solution:

• Install and register Autocad 2006.
• Close the awarding
• In the run command blazon "regedit" and press enter
• Scroll to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoCAD.Drawing.16\shell\open up\ddeexec"
• The default value volition exist [open %1%]
• Delete that value and exit the regedit.
• Now either restart your machine or else
• type "gpupdate" in run command and press enter and wait for registry updated successfully message.

That's all you'll have to do.

No more error prompts when opening (*.dwg) files.

Hope this commodity proves useful for some people who however wants Autocad 2006.
