    Error (AutoCAD) - autoload.scr is invalid file name

      Product(s): Promis.e
      Version(s): through 08.11.11.85
      Environment: N/A
      Area: Installation_Configuration
      Subarea: N/A

    Error or Warning Message

    At startup, the software displays a message indicating "autoload2009.scr" or similar is an invalid file name. 

    Explanation

    The file cannot be found because the version of AutoCAD that is currently installed and that corresponds to the .SCR file indicated in the message (in the above case, "2009"), is not compatible with the installed version of Promis.e.

    How to Avoid

    Install a compatible version of AutoCAD.  See the Compatibility Chart or Promis.e readme file to determine compatible versions.

    Alternatively, if the project database schema has not yet been upgraded, it may be possible to uninstall Promis.e and install the previously used version that is compatible with the currently installed AutoCAD version.

    Yet another alternative would be to switch to Promis.e Standalone which has an integrated drafting platform, eliminating the need to maintain AutoCAD licenses and upgrades to remain compatible with Promis.e.
