Installing AutoCAD 2007 LT on Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10
Follow these instructions to solve issues around installing/running your old AutoCAD LT 2007 on newer versions of 64bit Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10
IMPORTANT NOTE: Autodesk no longer supply License Activation codes for this version of AutoCAD. The best way is to transfer your existing license to the new PC but there are other options, we document them here
How to install AutoCAD LT 2007
Obtain your purchased copy of the Longbow Converter here
Start the Longbow Converter tool
Insert your AutoCAD LT 2007 CD into your CDRom drive
select the 2nd tab named “Old AutoCAD Installer Reviver“
Using the “…” button, path the to your AutoCAD 2007 CD
Click “Run Old Installer”
Read and follow all the prompts
Once the AutoCAD LT 2007 setup starts, stop and read the next step…
In the setup program, navigate through each setup dialog as normal, with these exceptions…
When you click the Install link from your setup you may see a dialog box appear saying – “This program has compatibility issues” – simply check the “Don’t show this message again” and then click the “Run the program without getting help” button
When you arrive at the installation folder path setup dialog, **it’s vitally important to make sure you install to c:\acadlt2007 (not Program Files (x86)\AutoCAD LT 2007)**.
Now simply reboot your PC and run your AutoCAD as normal
NOTE: When starting AutoCAD, if you see a warning dialog when you run saying “This program has known compatibility issues”, simply click “Don’t show this message again” and then click “Run the Program…”

Thanks for posting this info! what are your thoughts about Revit, does it worth the change?
I have a new computer running Windows 10. I installed AutoCAD LT 2007 on it. Do I need to uninstall it before copying my AutoCAD 2007 LT CD to folder path c:\Autodesk\acadlt2007, and running the Longbow Converter tool ? If so, is a simple un-install sufficient?
an uninstall is sufficient, yes...
I have the same situation as henry. Will I have to get a new activation code from Autodesk to reinstall Autocad 2007 LT ?
When you install on a new computer, you will always need a new activation code from Autodesk. Just call them and ask for one
