In an earlier posting, I noted that an updated Autodesk DWG TrueView 2007 is now available. This update corrects a problem where administrative rights were required to execute the application. Autodesk is working to remove these restrictions from its DWF-related products. Although the update (build 139) works properly for new installations, some steps are required to remove the old Autodesk DWG TrueView 2007 (build 136).
Software Engineer, Suresh Alapati, reports that this is a registry problem of Autodesk DWG TrueView 2007. To solve the problem, follow these steps:
Login as an Admin user.
Uninstall Autodesk DWG TrueView 2007 Build 136.
Logout from the Admin user and login as the Restricted user.
Open Registry Editor and navigate to My Computer> HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Autodesk.
Always be careful when editing the registry and back it up first.Delete the whole folder "DWG TrueView."
Logout from the Restricted user and login as the Admin user.
Install the DWG TrueView Build 139.
Run the application as the Admin user.
Logout from the Admin user and login as the Restricted user.
Run the application as the Restricted user.
As a result, the application works as expected for both Admin and Restricted users.
