Slow creation of deployments for 2008 products

Published date: 2008-Apr-02
ID: TS1069903

Applies to:
AutoCAD® Architecture 2008
AutoCAD® MEP 2008

Issue

When you created a deployment from the original installation media for either AutoCAD® Architecture 2008 or AutoCAD® MEP 2008, it took much longer than expected.

Solution

The new installer for these products incorrectly copies the data from the installation media to the destination folder multiple times, increasing the deployment creation time by a factor of 3 or more.

To avoid this issue, it is strongly recommended that you copy the installation files to a local drive first and then run the installer on the local drive to create the deployment.
