AutoCAd reinstalls again when F1 is accessed

One of my users is having an annoying problem, each time he hits F1 for help autoCAD installation begins again. I wonder if anyone has the same problem.

 

Was the Help installed initially with the deploy? Also, is the user a member of the Power Users or Administrators group?

 

It's a bug.
I had the same problem with ADT2005 and posted a question about it. See

Hello Jussi

Support has received a few cases related to this issue and we have been able
to reproduce this problem in our lab. We are currently working with product
development to identify the cause of the problem and determine what options
are available as far as a fix. Unfortunately we do not have a work-around
at this time, other than supplying users with administrative privileges, but
if we do find something, we will be sure to communicate our findings.

Log in as a Domain User, start ADT2005 and press F1.
On my machine this launches windows installer which ends in error since it
hasn't enough rights. Press a few times Ok and help is there.

I've tried to get rid of this by starting help as a domain admin, by
elevating user rights temporarily to admin to get the install through, but
it isn't helping. The installer starts every time help is started.

Can you confirm this? Is something just wrong here?

Thanks,
Jussi

 

Have you tried updating to the Windows Installer 3.0? You should download and install it, since it fixes many MSI problems. It is brand new. Find it here:

Good luck!

 

Thank you for all your suggestions.I have tried the Windows Installer 3.0 but did not work. Any other suggestions?
