Troubleshooting

– If you have a single self extracting exe downloaded from Autodesk

Run the exe, it will ask to unzip to a folder inside of c:\Autodesk, make a note of the folder name for later use (we’ll refer to it from here as c:\Autodesk\AutoCAD2009), now click OK.
Wait until all of the files have extracted, when they do, the AutoCAD 2009 setup will automatically launch – simply close and move to step 3.2 above, making sure to select c:\Autodesk\AutoCAD2009.

– If you are unable to activate your product, or the activation process crashes:

- Try uninstalling the July 2014 Microsoft security update

Try downgrading your Internet Explorer (IE) from version 11 to version 10 by following the instructions detailed here

– If you have crashing problems using the File->Open or File->Save dialogs inside of AutoCAD please read this blog entry on the File->Open or File->Save Crash in AutoCAD
