Autodesk Quickcad For Windows 7
I managed to install Qiuckcad 7 Millenium Edition in Windows 10. It is the same procedure as installing it in Windows 7 which is described in the 'old' Quickcad forum in the autodesk community. For convenience I'll copy both relevant posts.
First one:
Autodesk Quickcad millennium edition 7: using windows 7 Will not load from disk: Is there a fix for this, Serial # 15 you can run quickcad 8 from another drive and access your drawing, not quite sure how this has happened.
- Autodesk quickcad free download - Autodesk DWF Viewer, Autodesk AutoSketch, Autodesk Maya, and many more programs.
- In addition all downloads will be served directly from Autodesk's web site or hosting service. We do not modify in anyway the installation program for QuickCAD Release 8. Additional Download Links.
- Nov 05, 2015 Autodesk QuickCad Millennun Edition wont install on windows 7 -64. Had the program for a nunber of years and it has worked very well on every sustem I have used even on windows 7- 32 bit. Just started up my new computer runing windows 7 -64 and I cant gert the program to load from the CD. Can any help. This thread is locked.
Re: Windows 7
Hi, I'm posting briefly to this thread in case it might help anyone else. I just was looking at this issue for a client who is still using QuickCad 7.0/Millennium edition, and is moving to Win7/64 bit workstations from WinXP32bit environment.
Quickcad refuses to install from the installer media. However, to get the app working there were 2 workarounds which appear to be adequate:
(A) clean install of quick cad on a WinXP32bit VM 'Windows XP Mode' virtual machine which is a feature freely available on Win7Pro. (Note I believe running a Free VM platform for WinXP32bit based on 'Oracle VirtualBox' would equally well work for those people who don't have free WinVM platform with their edition of Windows7, ie non-pro versions? But note of course for a 3rd party VM solution you will need your own legitimate WinXP installer media .)
OR
(B) from a computer which has a working install of quickcad: Prepare a few ZIP files from the directories,
--- C:program filesquickcad
--- C:program filescommon filesquickcad (something approx like this - I may have it spelled slightly wrong)
transfer these zip files over to your new Win7-64bit system
unzip them on your desktop

if prompted about 'require admin rights to do this' - just do it.
then unzip the other zipfile which held the 'common files' data
copy the content of that folder and dump it directly into the C:program filesquickcad folder. This will be a grab bag of DLLs and other assorted stuff. I tried putting in the 'proper place' but quickcad still complained of missing DLLs on startup -- so resorted to putting it all right in the quickcad dir - and .
quick cad will then launch . the first launch, it complains, 'app not installed correctly. Please type your name and click OK to proceed or click Cancel to quit'. I guess they really want you to read the error message before proceeding :-)
Also, as part of this: I tweaked the 'compatability' mode for quickcad.exe -- but did that before the DLL fix up; so I'm not certain it actually made any difference. If you can't get quickcad to run then:
- right click on the quickcad.exe exectuable itself, choose 'Compatability' from the pop-up menu
- from the pop-up menu, change it to a more legacy version of windows (Win98 or ME for example)
- I also set 'run as admin' because . this seemed the kind of thing a legacy app would like.
- I also set these properties 'For all users'. in case someone other than the current logged in user might need the app to work.
I haven't finished exhaustive testing of quickcad yet - will get the client who is familiar with the app to do that -- but this appears to have been a decent workaround, so wanted to post this to the thread in case it might help someone else.
As a footnote, in case it isn't obvious :-)
- I'm sure this is 100% unsuppored by anyone, quickcad and myself included :-)
- your mileage may vary on this, and please don't post to ask me questions if this doesn't work for you - I have never tried this before today, and probably will never try it again in another environment. It appears to have worked here for me; your mileage may vary.

Re: Windows 7Hi to All QuickCAD users....
First off, I have QuickCAD 7 Millennium Edition. This will work for QuickCAD 6 Millennium Edition as well. I am running Microsoft Vista Ultimate, Service Pack 2 and all current updates, to-date as of this post.
After reading all of the questions and replys in reference to the error message that pops up saying 'Failed to update registry. Please try using REGEDIT', I noticed that nobody mentioned the fix that worked for me.
The reason the error message, 'Failed to update registry. Please try using REGEDIT', happens in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and NOT in Windows XP or earlier versions of Windows is because Microsoft changed the way Windows Vista and Windows 7 applies permissions to a softwares EXE files that make their own updates and changes to the registry.
Microsoft did this to help stop softwares that make errored and/or fatal registry entries that sometimes end up damaging the registry and/or causing fatal errors that the OS can't resolve on its own. This is because some software companies refuse to use Microsoft's registry administration protocol. Also, it helped to lower the amount of viruses, malware and etc., that make damaging and fatal entries to the registry, from being able to 'CRASH' your computer with ease, sometimes making it impossible to recover your computer without the help of an expert to recover it for you.
Now for the fix that worked for me concerning the error message, 'Failed to update registry. Please try using REGEDIT', after you install and/or copy (as describe by other posts in this thread) your QuickCAD, go to the directory that you installed and/or copied your QuickCAD to and follow the steps below.
1. Right Click on the 'QuickCad.exe' file.
2. Click 'Properties'.
3. Click the 'Compatibility' tab.
4. Check 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:' and select 'Windows XP'.

5. Under 'Privilege Level', check 'Run this program as an administrator'.
6. Click 'Apply', then click 'OK'.
Now, start up your QuickCAD program and the error message, 'Failed to update registry. Please try using REGEDIT', should not pop-up anymore.
I hope this helped to resolve the issue concerning the error message, 'Failed to update registry. Please try using REGEDIT'.
I would have tried to figure out the install issue for everyone, but that sometimes takes many hours or days of time to resolve and sometimes requires the creation of an installation package that also can take hours and days to create..

Hope this explained it to where people can better understand the real reason why this happens and that it isn't because of bad softwares and/or OS's.
