Title: Cadtools not running (64 bit problem?)
Post by: Clint S on November 02, 2016, 10:14:46 PM

Hi Lars

I have just upgraded my desktop to a 64 bit machine and can't get cadtools to work.
I am running windows 10 with acad 2016 and have set the correct version in cadtools.  Also am running both as administrator.
It worked on my 32 bit machine under windows 10 albeit with acad 2013.
Any other ideas on why I am getting the dreaded "CAD application not running or wrong version" error?

It's Windows UAC that prevents you to run it. Try to uninstall and run the installation as administrator (right click on the installation exe). Then run CadTools and also AutoCAD as administrator.
Running as administrator?

As an option you can use the portable version of CadTools
