Installing Autocad - Autodesk AUTOCAD 2010 - STAND-ALONE Manual

This section provides instructions for installing and activating AutoCAD for
an individual user on a stand-alone computer. For information about installing
network-licensed or multi-seat stand-alone versions of the program, see the
Network Administrator's Guide.

Installing AutoCAD

The AutoCAD Installation wizard contains all installation-related material in
one place. From the Installation wizard, you can access user documentation,
change the installer language, select a language-specific product, install
supplemental tools, and add online support services.
Review installation documentation before you install. It is recommended
that you take the time to familiarize yourself with the complete installation
process before you install AutoCAD. You can access PDF versions of the
installation and licensing manuals from the product's Installation wizard
by selecting the Read this Documentation selection, the Documentation
link at the bottom, left pane of the install pages, or through the Help
system.
You can also access PDFs from the product discs by navigating to the
documentation (docs) folder. For late-breaking information, it is also
recommended that you review the product Readme.
NOTE To view or print any files with an extension of .pdf, Adobe
must be installed on your computer. If you do not have Adobe Reader, you
can download the latest version by visiting www.adobe.com.
To install AutoCAD using default values on a stand-alone computer
This is the fastest means of installing AutoCAD on your system. Only default
values are used which means it is a typical installation being installed to
C:\Program Files\<AutoCAD>.
1 Insert the AutoCAD disc(s) into your computer's drive.
2 In the AutoCAD Installation wizard, select a language for the install
instructions or accept the default language. Click Install Products.
