All,

I am trying to create a ACAD 2004 NIW package that connects to a license
server. I am following essentially the same steps I used when I built
my 2002 packages.

I have a standalone niw package that works fine. When I create a second
deployment (.mst) for networked settings, everything looks fine. In run
deploy via the shortcut and acad installs fine. I reboot and then try
to open acad - this is where my issue comes in - acad never loads! No
error messages, nothing. The spash screen never even comes up. The
mouse pointer goes to an hourglass and then back to normal. If I watch
in taskmanager, I can see acad.exe starting and then it goes away. I
have searched via the website this discussion group and also
autodesk.autocad.2004 for help with no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks
James

In the mean-time, check your event logs in your event viewer to see if any error message is listed when acad.exe quits.

Yeah, that is too bad. I suppose your network image could be corrupted when it was being built. I suppose you could just make another Network Install and try again.

I did just help a user who made a network install and accidentally put in the wrong serial number because he didn't doublt-check it when creating the network deploy. Perhaps your serial number was also incorrect.

When you do your install, uncheck the silent-mode so you can be sure that all of the settings are correct for that install.

I wish you the best of luck.
