Issue

During the installation of AutoCAD® Mechanical, you received the following error message:

acad.msi: AdskExecuteSequence

Solution

This error is caused by running the 64-bit installer on a 32-bit operating system.

You can install AutoCAD® Mechanical on both 32- and 64-bit operating systems, but you need to use the correct installer for your operating system.

To install the 32-bit version of the product, you need to use the Setup32.exe file.
