Using Windows Explorer, copy Disk 1 of your AutoCAD Architecture 2016 install media to your hard drive, to a folder path c:\Autodesk\ADT2016
If you have more CD’s, copy them all directly over the top of Disk 1, overwrite all files in your previously copied c:\Autodesk\ADT2016 folder
If you have a single self extracting exe downloaded from Autodesk called something like Architecture_2016_English_Win_32_64bit_en-us_Setup.exe
Simply run the exe, it will ask to unzip to a folder inside of c:\Autodesk, make a note of the folder for later use (we’ll refer to it from here as c:\Autodesk\ADT2016), now click OK. Wait until all of the files have extracted, when they do, the AutoCAD Architecture 2016 setup will automatically launch – simply close it and move to the next step.
Now, start the Longbow Converter tool, select the 1st tab, pick the c:\Autodesk\ADT2016 folder, and click the Convert button.
Once the conversion process is complete, click Install/Run Setup to start setup. Simply install as normal.
