FATAL ERROR: Invalid Configuration path\filename:

[Erik Atkins]

I receive that error when a user uses a different computer to run AutoCAD.

Here is the scenario: A particular user normaly uses his own workstaion
where his roaming profile is located under c:\document and
settings\afeingold.medford\. Because that machine is not the most powerful
one we have he needs to temporarily use another computer which is available
this week. When he logs in the system stores his profile under c:\document
and settings\afeingold\. Therefore, when he attempts to run Autocad in the
other computer he receives the following error -
---------------------------
AutoCAD Error Aborting
---------------------------
FATAL ERROR: Invalid Configuration path\filename: C:\Documents and
Settings\afeingold.MEDFORD\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\Autodesk
Land Desktop 2004\R16.0\enu\

My question is, how can I have it look into the current user's profile (say
with a system variable) and not a hard coded path.

Your help is appreciated

This will probably help.

Thank you very much. It did the trick. I am surprised this was not resolved
in SP1.
