DRCAuto Software on Windows 7 Show QuestionHow can I install my current version of DRCAuto Software
to work with Windows 7 -32bit and 64bit – machines? AnswerDRCAuto software is compatible with AutoCAD 2000-2010 and utilizes a 32bit installer package that supports direct installation to Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 Attempting to install any of the DRCAuto programs under a Windows 64-bit Operating System will not succeed since there are separate registry ‘hives’ for 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) applications. In this instance, the installer will not be able to detect the presence of AutoCAD. For Windows 64-bit platforms, the solution is to install both AutoCAD and DRCAuto software under what is known as Windows XP Mode (also known as Virtual PC). Important: Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate required. Home Version does not include this functionality. For Windows 7 Home Premium, use VMWare Workstation. How to install Windows XP on VMware
