Will Not Run - ADR 2010

[CEHill]

ISSUE
After successfully installing the 2010 version of ADR from the website, the program fails to start. After removing the application and re-installing ADR from the Autodesk DVD, the same error message appears (see attached).

I (think ) I deleted all the previous version's folders that I could find.

QUESTION
Has anyone experienced and, better yet, found a solution?

Have you tried launching ADR as administrator to see if it runs?

I've found that it can sometimes be flakey (2009 & 2010) if you don't first run as admin - especially if you happen to be running it on Vista.

Thanks for the response. In fact, I have administrative rights and was logged in as such in Win XP Pro.

I reloaded the 2009 version from my product (Inventor Routed Systems 2009) DVD without a hitch.

ADR 2010 - No go. Maybe it needs a clean installation at work. At home Win XP Home, ADR loaded fine.:shock:

My other Autodesk 2010 version products will not be loaded until service packs are released later so, my ADR 2010 will have to wait, too.

I just loaded ADR2010 on an XP computer that originally had ADR2009 and it launches without any problems (ADR Build Version = 10.0.0.108). XP Pro - SP2 (not SP3) - fully patched.

Now when you get to loading anything on Vista, you just might find that Administrator rights are not sufficient for some tasks - I have found that sometimes you actually have to "Run as Administrator" to get some software to register correctly. I have full local admin rights and quite often I have to "Run as Adminstrator" the first time that I load a new software package.

Failure To Launch

I get the same error message trying to start 2010.

Will DR 2009 run a dwf produced by Revit or Acad 2010?

I have been trying to install Inventor 2010 30-day trial but after installation and trying to open the program I get the message "License Expired" I spoke to Autodesk and they said I could download the 30-day trial from their website. What if the same problem arises ?
Now I have uninstalled the program and uninstalled any other expired Autodesk programs and files from my computer, can I reinstall the program nowing it will run or can I expect further problems ?

We had 2 users with a failures to launch. We repaired the Microsoft .NET 3.5 framework from the Control Panel on one of them. The other person did not have a graphics driver installed for video card. Upon ADR 2010 launch, the autoupdate feature polls the autodesk site; maybe this is being stopped by your enterprise firewall and hanging the launch all together?
