One of the reason that your system is unable to install the application is that the system may not be well advanced to handle the application with windows 7. This is because it requires a god performance speed with better configuration. The operating system Windows 7 too takes a good configuration but it might be that it handled anyway but an application too may not be able to cope well.

Autocad 2009 application do not have the feature under windows 7. The compatibility feature for the same is quite very much in concerned. So you need to keep a check whether that the system is quite very much capable to cope with the operating system. It is likely that autocad 2009 do not support well with the windows 7 operating system.

It may be that the software that you are using may be 32 bit version and the operating system that you are using may be of 64 bit. A 64 bit operating system may not be able to cope with the application that may be of 32 bit. So you need to check for the version that you are using. This shall enable you to make and get to the conclusion. So check out for the thing.

The best way to make the software to get executed can be by using the application under windows Xp. Windows 7 has several compatibility option through which you can make the system to work well with application. Windows 7 has backup utility operating system as Windows Xp. You can use that in order to work with the software. This shall help you out in making the things to work accordingly.

As you have downloaded the software it is quite very much possible that the installer may not be proper. You need to uninstall the application installer and then install a new one in order to make the application to run. This can be done by using other installer by getting it from other source. Hope this should work well. Try it out. This can be a possibility for the installation to be done.

Hello Balamani,

Have you checked compatibility?
Just an FYI for you.

It is always best to check with the software manufacturer FIRST. They will tell you if they have tested the product and the version, as well as whether or not it will work with Windows 7.
Check out the Windows 7 Compatibility site: (There you will find out about hardware and software compatibilty.)
There is a pulldown from which you can choose "hardware" and "software".

There are also some great articles, instructional videos and such to help with your Windows 7 at our Springboard site:



Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to check the threads available there for additional assitance and support.
