Use Scripts to Deploy the
Program
A script executes a command or a set of commands. Scripts are similar to batch files but are
more flexible. Installation scripts are most useful for stand-alone installation of programs on
computers that are connected to a network. Scripts are also useful for installing service packs,
extensions, and object enablers on a network.
In order for AutoCAD to run properly, the following software and prerequisites must be
installed and met on the computer where the program is being installed:
Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1 (available on the product disc)
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 Service Pack 1 or later (You can download Microsoft
Internet Explorer from the Microsoft website by visiting
www.microsoft.com
).
Microsoft Installer Package (MSI) 4.5
Microsoft Windows Media Format 9.5 (prerequisite for 64-bit)
Macromedia Flash Player 9.0 or later (not installed by default)
Autodesk Design Review 2010 (not installed by default)
VC++ 2008 SP1 and VC++2005 SP1 runtimes for x86 operating systems; and VC++2008
SP1 and VC++2005 SP1 runtimes for x64 for 64-bit operating systems (available on the
product disc)
Microsoft National Language Support Downlevel APIs (available on the product disc)
