AutoCAD 2015 Application Error (0xc0000142) + Autoruns for Windows

$
0
0

We have been getting some cases in which AutoCAD 2015 would not launch. The error is:

0xc0000142-acad-2015

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142).  Click OK to close the application.

To solve this problem, we needed to use an advanced Windows Sysinternals Tool called Autoruns for Windows:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

Launch the program and look for the following tab:  AppInit.  This will basically tell you if a dll is unsigned or digitally no longer valid on your computer.  All you have to do is rename each dll listed, one at a time and launch the product to determine the problematic dll.

Appinit

With a bit of serendippity, we [Avto Chachava] also solved a (0xc0000005) error using the same process, in this case the problematic dll was:

nvinitx.dll

We have been using Procmon for ages, here is another tool in our troubleshooting arsenal.  Thanks to Kenny Chan for sharing this tip with the community.

This appears to be an issue with Adobe Acrobat 9.5.x Extended Web Capture module and this can be easily seen in AppInit tab of Autoruns for Windows.

Autodesk 2015 products + Network Licensing 11.11 = 0.0.0 error

To make this issue a bit more Google searchable, I have cross-referenced the error with our Autodesk Knowledge Network.

http://knowledge.autodesk.com/article/Autodesk-2015-product-will-get-a-0-0-0-error-when-using-11-11-NLM

Issue

1. Get 2015 your license and configure it using your lmtools.exe [11.11].

2. Configure it and confirm that it works via Perform Status enquiry.

Lmtools-11.11-with-2015

3. Confirm that AutoCAD 2014 can run and connect to the license server.

4. Launch AutoCAD 2015 and this error will come up [0.0.0].  This error typically means that the server is configured correctly with an Autodesk product but there is no license on the server but we have confirmed that we do indeed have a 2015 license as noted in step 2.

2015-0.0.0-error

Solution

You need to update your Network License Manager to the latest version [11.12].

1. Open you system registry editor (Go to Start > Search > type regedit and hit Enter key)

2. Locate the key below and change Type value to 1 (please refer to the screenshot)
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R20.0\ACAD-E001\AdLM

ACAD_2015_licenseChange

3. Create client license file, LICPATH.lic file, in Notepad.
  e.g.

  SERVER yourServerNemeHere 000000000000
  USE_SERVER

  Note: change yourServerNemeHere to your actual network license server name.
 
4. Place LICPATH.lic file in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2015\ folder


Note: Please make sure that your LICPATH.lic file doesn't have hidden .txt extension.

Tip: Show Hide file name extensions

5. Start AutoACAD 2015

Tip: Getting server information via the Command Prompt [cmd]

Cmd

The command that everyone knows....

ping server-name

If you get an IPv6 address, then type:

ping -4 server-name

To get the ethernet address remotely, try this:

nbtstat -A ip-address-of-server-name

All you need is your serial number and you can generate and configure your license server!

If you are on on the server, you can also run this command:

getmac

Running this command made me hungry....

If you are getting this error and you are using Trend Micro anti-virus, you need to disable it during the installation process.

Thanks to John Blazier for confirming that the issue still exists.  It is a best practice to disable your anti-virus when installing software.

If you set the MAYA_APP_DIR before launching Maya 2015 to allow it to create the default folders in C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\maya, it will crash.  The only thing you will get is the Output window.

"I had to remove the variable and let maya set up in documents like it normally does the take those files and copy them into the location that I wanted then re-instate the variable."

Thanks to Hugh McCullom for confirming and sharing this tip with the community.

You can actually check out the following Autodesk Licensing Error Codes in it's most raw form located here:

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ADLM\R9\AdlmErrorCodes.xml
 Download:  AdlmErrorCodes
 
The R9 folder is for a 2015 product.  i.e. R7 = 2014
 
Using this file, you can determine Linux errors and it typically is a productinformation.pit file issue.  This means you need to use the rpm& adlmreg command to install the [Maya] software.
