Installing AutoCAD 2000 LT On a WinXP workstation

Good day,

Today I installed AUTOCAD 2000 LT on My Workstation As Administrator(Workstation in a WINDOWS 2003 domain) and when i logged in as a user, AutoCAD worked, but while AutoCAD was loading, he gave me error that it can't change registry as it needs. Could You tell me what part of the registry it attempts to change, so I could the domain user give the permissions to change it? Or that's not the problem..

A simple change that may help, add Domain Users to the Local machine's Power Users Group.  For AutoCAD 2000/2002 Lt I've typically done this once I setup a machine.  I've never thoroughly investigated the issue, but it basically seems that AutoCAD is using the User permissions for registry access rather than going through the system.  Was nothing more than a big pain in the <edit>.  Does give Users a little more access locally on the machine itself, but still keeps them out of the network with any real power.

Better solution is to update to LT 2004 that can run as a user under XP.  AutoCAD and LT 2000 and 2000i re not supported on XP so moving to the newer version would be a better option here.



 



Hope this helps.
