General Installation Information

  • During the installation of this update, you will be prompted for the original installation CD or network image.

Important: You cannot run an automatic uninstall to remove this service pack. To restore your version of Autodesk Raster Design 2006 to its pre-service pack state, uninstall Autodesk Raster Design 2006 and reinstall it.

 

Installation Information for Side-By-Side Installs

If you have additional AutoCAD-based products installed on your computer, you may need to apply additional service packs to ensure all the products continue to work properly after you install the Autodesk Raster Design 2006 Service Pack 1.

These include the following service packs:

  • AutoCAD 2006 SP1
  • Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2006 SP1
  • Autodesk Map 3D 2006 SP1
  • Autodesk Land Desktop 2006 SP1
  • Autodesk Civil 3D 2006 SP2

For example, if you have Autodesk Map 3D 2006 installed on the same computer as Autodesk Raster Design 2006, you must install both Autodesk Map 3D 2006 Service Pack 1 and Autodesk Raster Design 2006 Service Pack 1 to ensure both products continue to work properly. 

 

The Windows command line switches built into this service pack are as follows:

  • /e - Extracts the MSP file 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 these command line switches are included in the procedures that follow.
