Dtools Si5.1 will not load the SI5 interface in ACAD2008.

Product information:
AutoCAD Architecture 2008
ver: B.51.0 (UNICODE)

I have tried the following with no success, I am now looking for additional assistance:


AutoCAD 2008 Compatibility
SI 5 now works with AutoCAD 2008 (standard version)

D-Tools AutoCAD Menu is Hidden if Adobe Acrobat is Installed
To get the D-Tools menu back, type ‘dtshowmenu’ at the command line from within AutoCAD. If you get the message that this is an unknown command, the D-Tools SI5 AutoCAD interface did not get installed. Try Modifying your installation via the control panel, or contact D-Tools support for assistance.
AutoCAD Sheet Sets Not Available
SI5 does not use sheet sets to manage project files. Use the Navigator for this.

It sounds like an AutoCAD Architecture issue. My guess is that when the installer looks for AutoCAD is ignores the Architecture version. Does the AutoCAD Architecture installer give an option for having a standard AutoCAD profile at install?

I'm curious how D-Tools searches for AutoCAD. Is it folder heirarchy, windows registry entries, etc?

I'm curious if you have partners who require the use of this version for sharing files or did you just think it was cool?

I have used a registry patch for SI4, ACAD2008 Arch will load in SI4, can I obtain a similar patch which will accommodate ACAD2008 Arch in SI5?
