How to disable/enable Autodesk Exchange

Do you want to enable Autodesk Exchange or learn to know how to disable Autodesk Exchange? Upon installing and starting the AutoCAD 2012s family of products Autodesk Exchange is automatically started. Many AutoCAD users, administrators or CAD Managers might want to avoid the dialog at start-up and will uncheck the Show this window at start up. This will also speed up start of AutoCAD.

Registry location is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R18.2\ACAD-A001:409 and when LaunchNFW is 1 Autodesk Exchange will auto-start. When the LaunchNFW is 3 Autodesk Exchange will not show when AutoCAD starts. Autodesk Exchange can also be started manually by clicking on the Exchange icon in InfoCenter, pressing F1 for help or run the EXCHANGE command. This will also give accessAutodesk Exchange Apps.

To disable Autodesk Exchange uncheck Access online content (including Help) when available in Options>System.

To disable Exchange for all users at deployment, uncheck the option "Use Online Help from Autodesk when available" in the deployment wizard. The end-user can easily enable it the Options dialog though. Another trick to disable Autodesk Exchange is to edit this registry key where R18.2 is for the 2012 version and ACAD-A001:409 is depending on the product and language. See also AutoCAD registry details for more explanation: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R18.2\ACAD-A001:409 And then edit the value name HelpBaseURL to anything other than the default valuehttp://exchange.autodesk.com When that is done Autodesk Exchange will show this:

Installing Dotnet Framework 1.1 on Windows 7 beta edition

When I installed Windows 7 beta version on my laptop, it was a relief as i was fed up with vista. The first problem popped while I tried to install Daemon Tools. ( For people who still have problem installing Daemon Tools, try installing Virtual Clone Drive. It seems Daemon Tools dont have support for beta editions.) The next problem arose when I tried to install dotnet framework 1.1. When I tried doing that, the following error showed up.

If user click OK, the installation of .NET 1.1 will be cancelled, while clicking CANCEL produces another error message similar to below: RegSvcs.exe - No debugger found Registered JIT debugger is not available. An attempt to launch a JIT debugger with the following command resulted in an error code of 02 (s). Please check settings. cardbg.exe !a 98e

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1(Service Pack 1) has resolved the issue. However, Microsoft does not provide download to standalone .NET Framework 1.1 installer that integrated with SP1. To fix this, we need to follow the following steps, which is called slipstreaming. We need to sliptstream .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 into .NET Framework 1.1 installer, so that both the .NET Framework and the Service Pack can be installed at the same time. Follow these steps: 1. Create a new folder named DotNet in C:\ drive. (The path i used was C:\DotNet ) 2. Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package (dotnetfx.exe). Make sure the setup file is saved as dotnetfx.exe. 3. Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (NDP1.1sp1-KB867460X86.exe). Rename the file to dotnetfxsp1.exe. 4. Copy both installation files into the same directory (i.e. C:\DotNet),. 5. Open Command Prompt as Administrator. 6. Change to the directory where the two installation files are stored, ie C:\DotNet. 7. Run the following commands one by one.

--> dotnetfx.exe /c:"msiexec.exe /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR=C:\DotNet"

Click on Yes and wait for this dialog which says installation complete.

--> dotnetfxsp1.exe /Xp:C:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp --> msiexec.exe /a c:\DotNet\netfx.msi /p c:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp

Wait for the installer to disappear automatically. 8. Install Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 with slipstreamed Service Pack 1 by running netfx.msi from the working folder. Dotnet Framework 1.1 is successfully installed. :-)
