If you know what you're doing with the registry, you could copy those missing files into your 'Windows\System 32' directory and make the appropriate registry entries. I had already installed several programs by the time I got around to installing AutoCAD, including a 3D drafting program, so I'm not sure if there would be any other missing files on other systems, but the error messages you get when trying to run 'acad.exe' will let you know which specific files you need.

On my computer, the only two missing files were 'heidi3.dll' and 'gdifont3.hdi,' and they were both in the 'Windows\System 32' directory.

Simply copy all the necessary files from the 'Windows' directory of the 32 bit system into the 'Program Files (x86)\Mechanical' directory of the 64 bit system. You don't need to worry about editing the registry on your 64 bit system. This is because the AutoCAD setup program installs additional files into your 'Windows' directory, and adds the appropriate entries to the registry. When you try to run 'acad.exe,' you'll probably still get errors. By default, AutoCAD gets installed into 'Program Files\Mechanical.' Copy the entire 'Mechanical' folder into a new 'Mechanical' folder in 'Program Files (x86)' on your 64 bit system. If you don't have a 32 bit system, go find a friend who will let you use their computer. If your 64 bit system is a new computer (which it probably is), you just copy the files from your old computer.

The solution is to simply install AutoCAD onto a 32 bit system, and then copy all the necessary files to the 64 bit system. Jambuch discovered that the setup.exe file is 16 bit, so there's no way to run it on your 64 bit system.

Click on 'Load' in the 'Load AutoLISP, ADS, and ARX Files' dialog box.

Navigate to the directory that AutoCAD is installed in, and double click on 'match.arx'.

Change the 'Files of type' dropdown menu to 'ARX (*.arx)'.

Once AutoCAD's running, type the command 'appload'.

Copy any necessary files from 'Windows' of 32 bit system to 'Program Files (x86)\Mechanical' on 64 bit system (you'll know which files from the error messages you get when trying to run 'acad.exe').

Copy 'Program Files\Mechanical' from 32 bit system into a new 'Program Files (x86)\Mechanical' on your 64 bit system.

Install AutoCAD R14 onto a 32 bit system.

Since you have to search a long thread to find that information, I decided to condense it down here into a simple blog entry.įirst, here's a quick summary of the simple fix:

Somebody going by wjohn posted information on how to get matchprop to work. Jambuch was very helpful, but has some information for Vista that isn't relevant to XP 圆4. I found an Autodesk discussion forum on Running R14 on Vista. There's a very simple way to get AutoCAD R14 to run on your machine, so long as you have access to a 32 bit system somewhere.

Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available. If you're like me and the old AutoCAD R14 still does everything you need from a 2D drafting package, but you've upgraded your system to Windows XP Professional 圆4, you've probably found that when you try to install AutoCAD from the original installation disk, you get one of the following the error messages (depending on how you try to run the setup program): The program or feature "\?\F:\SETUP.EXE" cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows.
