autocad 2002 installation problem
I have a copy of autocad 2002 that I tried to install. The installation didn't completely finish. After trying several times and ways to start the application, I tried to uninstall it. This failed, too. It didn't even show up in the list. However, when I tried again to install, it said a version of the software already existed on the machine and it wouldn't give me the option of re-install. I was told there was some kind of trick to this, any ideas? Thanks.
You may have to run a windows installer cleanup utility from Microsoft. Sometimes Acad gets stuck in the registry but is not shown the Add/Remove programs. This happens a lot with Raster Design. You can't install Acad until you run this app.

After you remove it from the registry you'll have to delete all the folders it creates.

1- check for enough HD space
2- Disable your anti-virus software prior to install
For the uninstall/re-install, have you tried rebooting between the attempts?
