the problem I'm having is, when I try to install it goes through the motions of installing but only installs the utilities and doesn't actually install autocad. I feel like I"m going to have to go through my entire registry and remove every single instance of anything autocad or acad related. I had originally installed the 2025 trial version, and I wonder if that left something on my computer that's preventing me from installing an earlier version. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or assistance, as I have been unable to work for several days and I'm getting way behind on my work. Thanks in advance!

I installed the setup but it the application was not working so I deleted all the files from common files as well and now the setup doesn't even run. Do you have any solution?
