1. MSI Information
• Due to a bug in the AutoCAD MSI this installer only works on Windows XP (see bugs below for more info).
• Base MSI built via the network installation setup wizard included with AutoCAD.
• ACST's final version is identical except that it removes the AutoCAD desktop icon which outside of being on the desktop caused the program to reinstall everytime it was clicked.
• There are 2 MSI's and 1 MST required to install the product:
• Main Autocad 2004 MSI - autodesk_autocad_wodesktop_2004.msi
• Main Autocad 2004 Transform - autodesk_autocad_wodesktop_2004.mst
2. Configuration Issues
• No Known Configurations.
3. Known Bugs
• This installer only works with Windows XP. Autodesk has a fix for the installer failing on Windows 2000 machines but we have no plans at this time to incorporate it.
• There was a bug saving to roaming profiles ( http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=3374001&linkID=2475323 ) . The UserData.dll is incorporated in the current file structure. If you deployed before July 26th, 2003 you should remove your deploy and redeploy with the above mentioned MSI and MST.
