Re: Drawing Environment not enabled

It used to be true that removing the standard 4 registry entries would
result in a "clean" install of SW. However, I had something go awry while
installing 2006, and, on the advice of my VAR we did a step-by-step revome
( including registry entries ), and a complete re-install ( 3 times ). On
re-installing SW would report that it had "updated" my registration code,
rather than asking for one. It was clear to both myself and my VAR that
with 2006, SW has added additional registry entires.

If it looks like you need to perform the nuclear option, and reformat,
you might first try using the registry search tool and deleting all
references to: SW, bluebeam, e-drawings, dasault systems, ect.. Last I
looked, there were more than 20 entries associated with SW and add-ins.
Obviously, this can really hose your registry if you are not careful. But,
if reformatting is your only other option.... its worth a try and may save
many hours of software installation, updating, ect.
