Vineetthakur Created on June 21, 2013. How to install autocad 2006 in windows 8? Any way to install autocad in windows 8 64 bit? I would imagine that earlier versions of AutoCAD would have problems with a newer operating system.
Hello vineetthakur, What error messages are you receiving from AutoCad? I would imagine that earlier versions of AutoCAD would have problems with a newer operating system such as Windows 8. However, usually, if an application works on Windows 7 it will 'usually' work on Windows 8.
After all Windows 8 is still based on the Windows 7 kernel. Have you tried compatibility mode? Locate the AutoCAD install/setup.exe file and right click on it.
(You will need to view the files in File explorer rather than auto run the CD.) 2. From the drop down menu, click on the Properties option.
In the properties Window, click on the Compatibility tab. When the Compatibility tab opens look for the section marked 'compatibility mode.' You will see an option marked 'Run this application in compatibility mode for.'
To the left of this option is a box. Click on this box to insert a check mark (tick). The default compatibility mode is Windows XP SP3. To change this, click on the down arrow to the right of the words Windows XP SP3.

The bidder is responsible for inspecting the items themselves.
A list of operating systems will now appear. From the list, select Windows 7. You could also try an earlier versions such as Vista if you like. Finally press the OK button. Now click on the install/setup.exe file and it should install in compatibility mode. If it still refuses to install in compatibility mode you may have to consider buying the latest version of AutoCad. Another alternative is using Virtual Machine software.
However, as AutoCad is a memory intensive program you may find VM software to be slow. This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or view of Microsoft, its employees, or other MVPs. John Barnett MVP: Windows XP Associate Expert: Windows Expert - Consumer: .
