How to get AutoCAD 2000 to install on a Windows 7 64 bit operating system. The problem we were having was with the forced installation of Netmeeting from the AutoCAD installation disc.
Our solution at the time was to install AutoCAD on the Windows Virtual XP. The XP mode created more problems than we were able to ignore because the XP mode is very watered down and does support proper graphics for the drafting software. We decided to try another approach. Take the AutoCAD 2000 installation disc (Architectural Desktop release 3 in our case, which is based on AutoCAD 2000) and create an ISO image of the disc. I used MagicISO because it allowed me to make the image, and delete the folder for Netmeeting from the ISO image. I believe it is under Support NM in the ISO image. Once the NM folder is deleted from your ISO image, burn the image onto a new disc.
It will fit onto a 700mb disc. Then proceed with the installation of AutoCAD onto your Windows 7 machine. It worked great for me, but my colleague is still having problems. We suspect it is because he is still using the Beta version of Windows 7 64. I am using the full Windows 7 64 Professional version.
No thanks Try it free. AutoCAD 2000 on Windows 8.1 64 bit Windows and Draw. This is just to show AutoCAD 2000 working on Windows 8.1 64-bit at the moment I provide support on helping.
We will be getting the full version for my colleague and trying the installation again. Also, my colleague tells me there is a work around to get the express tools installed. Keep checking back, we will be updating as we get new info. Cheers, James. LOADING EXPRESS TOOLS IN AUTOCAD 2000 IN WINDOWS 7 64 BIT SYSTEM: 1. The installation (setup.exe) for Express tools 1-9 will not work in Windows 7. It has compatibility issues.
The show name is “aayudha eluthu”. And another team is for opposition to that team. 
And another show is also popular in thanthi Tv. And then finally Rangaraj’s Pandey gives one message to the related topic.
You will have to manually install the files and load them in Autocad manually. Copy the Express folder from your previously installed setup. I grabbed the folder from my autocad folder (program files autocad express) from my old Windows XP machine. If you only have one machine, burn a CD before you install Windows 7. You will need one more file to make the express tools work.
It is located in: program file autocad support acettest.fas. When you are ready to install the express tools, copy the express folder to your program files autocad express. Then copy acettest.fas to your support folder. Open Autocad. Use MENULOAD and load: program files autocad express acetmain.mnc. Use APPLOAD and load: all files in express folder (.fas;.arx;.lsp). APPLOAD support acettest.fas.
Type EXPRESSTOOLS in the command line. Restart autocad, and express tools should be installed. 
Cheers, James. I am now trying to install the AEC Details 3 program from the installation disc. There is a compatibility issue (and I have tried Windows 7 amazing compatibility troubleshooter.).
I am not sure if it is because I am using a 64 bit version of Windows 7 or it may just be Windows 7 in general. I have tried copying all the associated files from AEC Details 3 folder from my virtual XP install directory and manually loading the menu files and lisp files. I am getting an error message:; error: no function definition: CR_MNL Command: sdsk Unknown command 'SDSK'.
Press F1 for help I have tried to track down the MNL files, but nothing is leading me to a solution. Any suggestions out there??
In my attempt to install Details 3, I uninstalled ADT3 because I thought I needed the program to be installed into 'Program Files' and not 'Program Files (x86)'. After further investigation, I learned the Details 3 installation is modifying the registry and adding keys, etc.
I do not have the time or patience now to figure out how to manual install Details 3. Reintalling AutoCAD Desktop 3 (AutoCAD 2000) When I was reinstalling ADT3, I found out that it would not install into Program Files. Even though I changed the installation directory, the program went into Program Files (x86). I also found out that there were a few failed attmepts to installing ADT3 on my second go around.
After many attempts, I chose Custom during installation, and removed all the unnecessary installation junk that I do not use (you may be able to do a Full installation with methods below. I have not tested it). Even though I removed the Metric Content, Metric D ACH Content, Internet Tools, Texture Maps, Samples, Tutorials, Dictionaries, and Batch Plotting; I still received a failed installation. During one of my previous un-installs (using un-install feature from installation disk), I noticed there was a choice to reinstall AutoCAD.
