I've been struggling to find a solution to this for many months but finally have it working.
Problem: Running DWG TrueView 2017 on Windows Server Remote Desktop Services / Terminal Services (RDS/TS) without having to change permissions or give users administrative privileges.
Solution for DGW TrueView 2017: Install once as an Administrator, then create 10 registry entries per user and setup Group Policy to use dwgviewr.exe to open .dwg files.
Tested on: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2
For TrueView 2018, see Autodesk DWG TrueView 2018 on RDS.
The registry entries (all String values) can be copied from the user profile that was used when installing DWG TrueView 2017. The information below is for the English version of Autodesk DWG TrueView 2017; other language versions may vary the '0001:409' section of the key below.
- HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAutodeskDWG TrueView
- CurVer
- HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAutodeskDWG TrueViewR15dwgviewr-0001:409
- AllUsersFolder
- AutodeskShared32Folder
- AutodeskSharedFolder
- DownloadedProgramFilesFolder
- GraphicsCacheFolder
- LocalRootFolder
- PublicFolder
- RoamableRootFolder
- SystemFolder
Important: Three of these need tweaking per user (GraphicsCacheFolder, LocalRootFolder, RoamableRootFolder) to point at the appropriate user profile folder.
When each user opens a .dwg file for the first time (or runs DWG TrueView directly) then the Autodesk installer will run and populate all other missing entries automatically (without trying to elevate).
I did find that not setting GraphicsCacheFolder still allowed DWG TrueView to work but the installer does not recreate this registry value.
