Issues with AutoCAD OEM 2025 Installer Wizard

The make wizard runs successfully and the generated output looks as expected.

We encountered two issues with the installer wizard:

  1. The installer wizard generates a line in the output image’s XML file which the setup.exe cannot handle. Installation with ODIS will fail with an “error 8”. Going through the log files we tracked this back to a line in the setup XML added by the installer wizard. Remove this line and the installation succeeds.

I can add more details when required. Don’t have access right now.

  1. For the second issue we don’t have a solution yet: The installer wizard includes some but not all required files of AutoCAD OEM itself. For example, “acdb25.dll” is missing in the generated installation image. The make wizard seems to have generated a complete set of files, but the installer wizard does not include them in the installation image.

Has someone else experienced this? Any ideas?
