Service Pack 1 is for the following Autodesk products running on all supported operating systems and languages:

• AutoCAD® 2005
• AutoCAD LT® 2005
• Autodesk® AutoCAD® Revit® Series 2.0

NOTE: Be sure to install the correct service pack for your software.

It is recommended that you back up all custom MNU, MNS, MNR, MNL, and MNC files before installing the service pack.

During the installation of this service pack, you will be prompted for the original installation CD or network image. Administrative permissions are required to install and uninstall products in order to successfully apply service packs.

Once this service pack is applied, you cannot run an automatic uninstall to remove the service pack. Uninstall the product and reinstall to undo the service pack changes.

The service pack may also be deployed by Administrators over the network using the Network Installation wizard.

Three Microsoft® Windows® command line switches are built into this service pack.

/e - Extracts the MSP file from the service pack executable.

/p - Extracts a patch list from the service pack executable.

/q - Suppresses the completion message after the service pack is applied. This is useful if you use a script or batch file to apply the service pack to multiple computers.

Instructions about how to use the /e and /p command line switches are included in the procedures that follow.

1. Download the service pack and save it to any folder.
2. Insert the AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT CD.
3. Navigate to the folder where you saved the service pack.
4. Double-click the executable (EXE) file.

Use this procedure if you want to use Communication Center to apply this service pack through your local network.

To apply this service pack through Communication Center using a local patch list

1. Insert the AutoCAD 2005 (or AutoCAD LT 2005) CD into your local computer.
2. From the Autodesk Product Support website, download the EXE file and the Readme.htm to a local server.

   NOTE: Make sure that all users who need to apply the service pack have access to this server.

3. On the Start menu (Windows), click Run. Enter the following information, and then click OK:

   \\<local server name>\<patch name> /p <patch list location name>\<patch list name>

   For example:

   c:\ACAD2005sp1SWL.exe /p c:\patchlist.txt

   The contents of the patch list file are similar to the following:

   *****
   ProductCode={5783F2D7-0301-0409-0002-0060B0CE6BBA}
   ProductVersionCandidate=16.1.63.10
   PatchTitle=AutoCAD (R) 2005 Service Pack 1
   PatchGUID={C198EACE-D53D-4756-9453-6019BE0283EE}

   PatchSize=177152
   PatchDesc=This Service Pack Updates AutoCAD (R) 2005 Locked.
   PatchDescLocation=\\\\your_server_name\\your_share_name\\subfolders\\readme_name.html or ftp://your_server_name/your_share_name/your_path/readme_name.html

   NOTE: If a patch list file already exists in this location, the new patch list information is added to the end of that file. The original file is not overwritten.

4. Open the patch list file. If there is more than one patch list, the lists are separated by asterisks (*****).
5. Change the fifth line in the patch list, PatchFileLocation, from:

   PatchFileLocation=\\\\<your_server_name>\\<your_share_name>\\<subfolders>\\<patch_name>.exe or ftp://<your_server_name>/<your_share_name>/<your_path>/<patch_name>.exe

   to one of the following:

   • If you want to make the service pack available from a file server, enter:
     PatchFileLocation=\\\\<your_server_name>\\<your_share_name>\\<subfolders>\\<patch_name>.exe

   • If you want to make the service pack available from an FTP server, enter:
     ftp://<your_server_name>/<your_share_name>/<your_path>/<patch_name>.exe

6. Change the last line in the patch list, PatchDescLocation, from:

   PatchDescLocation=\\\\<your_server_name>\\<your_share_name>\\<subfolders>\\<readme_name>.html or ftp://<your_server_name>/<your_share_name>/<your_path>/<readme_name>.html

   to one of the following:

   • If you want to make the Readme available from a file server, enter:
     PatchDescLocation=\\\\<your_server_name>\\<your_share_name>\\<subfolders> \\<readme_name>.html

   • If you want to make the Readme available from an FTP server, enter:
     ftp://<your_server_name>/<your_share_name>/<your_path>/<readme_name>.html

7. Save and close the patch list file.
8. On the Start menu (Windows), click Run. Enter the following:

   <your_CD-ROM_drive>:\Bin\<acad or aclt>Feui\support\CADManagerControl

9. Double-click CMControl.exe.
10. In the CAD Manager utility, in the product list, select your product, and then click OK.
11. In the CAD Manager utility, Communication Center tab, do the following:
    • In the Live Update Configuration list, select Enable Using Local Patch List.
    • In the Local Patch List Location box, enter the same local patch list location that you entered in step 3.
    • Click Apply to save these settings to your own system.

12. At the bottom of the CAD Manager utility, in the drop-down list, select Create .reg Registry File. Then click OK.
13. In the Save As dialog box, save the file to your system. Make note of this location.

The registry file is now ready to be made available to users. Distribute and execute the file to users by implementing the method of your choice.

NOTE: You must execute the service pack on each workstation that is running AutoCAD 2005 (or AutoCAD LT 2005).

The following two methods of distributing Service Pack 1 apply only to administrative images created with the Network Installation wizard. After you complete these procedures, any new deployments of the product will have the service pack applied to them automatically.

The patch (service pack) file that you download contains an MSP (Microsoft Patch) file, which you extract from the executable file using the /e (extract) switch; see step 2 for the syntax.

1. From the Autodesk Product Support website, download the service pack EXE file to your local computer.
2. On the Start menu (Windows), click Run. Enter the following information, and then click OK:

   <local drive:>\<patch name>\ /e <local drive:>\<patch name>.msp

3. On the computer where you installed the Network Installation wizard, on the Start menu (Windows), click Autodesk > Network Installation Wizard.
4. In the Network Installation wizard, on the Welcome page, select Create an Administrative Image, and then click Next.
5. On the Create Administrative Image page, in the Select Autodesk Installer (MSI) File box, enter the path to acad.msi (or aclt.msi), the MSI file that you use as the basis for your administrative image. This file is found on your product CD-ROM, in cdrom:\Bin\acadFeui (or cdrom:\Bin\acltFeui).
6. In the Administrative Image Location box, enter an existing shared network location where you want to create an administrative image, or click Browse to navigate to a location. Users install AutoCAD (or AutoCAD LT) from this location.
7. Select the Apply a Patch (Service Pack) to This Image option.
8. In the Select Patch box, enter the path to the patch location (the location you entered in step 2, including the file extension .msp). You can also browse to locate the MSP file.
9. Click Next, and follow the instructions in the Network Installation wizard to complete the deployment of this service pack.

1. From the Autodesk Product Support website, download the service pack EXE file to your local computer.
2. On the Start menu (Windows), click Run. Enter the following information, and then click OK.

   <local drive:>\<patch name>\ /e <local drive:>\<patch name>.msp

3. On the computer where you installed the Network Installation wizard, on the Start menu (Windows), click Autodesk > Network Installation Wizard.
4. In the Network Installation wizard, on the Welcome page, select Modify an Administrative Image, and then click Next.
5. On the Modify Administrative Image page, in the Select an MSI File list, select an existing Autodesk installer file (MSI) from an existing shared network location that contains the administrative image you want to modify. Users install AutoCAD (or AutoCAD LT) from this location.
6. Select the Apply a Patch (Service Pack) to This Image option.
7. In the Select Patch box, enter the path to the patch location (the location you entered in step 2, including the file extension .msp). You can also browse to locate the MSP file.
8. Click Next, and follow the instructions in the Network Installation wizard to complete the deployment of this service pack.
