Installing Autocad 32 bit in Windows 7 [64bit]



After doing a lot of efforts finally installed 2008 32 bit in my Windows 7 64 bit. Well its not that difficult just go through these steps.


Download Orca MSI editor first. You can download it at here.

1. Install it.
2. Copy the Cad installation files to your hard drive if you have it on CD.
3. Backup the files ACA.msi and Setup.ini somewhere else for safety purpose or you can very well skip this step as well.

4. Right click and edit the ACA.msi with Orca and delete the action found in the table
"InstallExecuteSequence" that is called "CheckFor64BitOS" Delete the same
line under table "CustomAction"
5. Save and close the ACA.msi
6. Edit the Setup.ini with Notepad. Delete the line under
"#==================== Platform Requirement" that is labeled
"PLATFORM=NO_WOW_64_PROCESS"
7. Double-click the Setup.exe and you should be able to install without any
problems.
