Newbe here and I ask tolerance if this has been asked before.
Question:
How do I install AutoCad LT98 and LT2000 to a Windows 7 computer?

Both of those programs are most likely going to be 32-bit.  Is your Win7 32-bit or 64-bit?

Hi John, thanks for the reply.
I believe it's 64 bit (I'll have to check that in a little while (I'm on my XP machine now).

The short answer is:  You're on your own.  And especially with versions as old as the ones you mentioned.

Hi Dave.
Not the answer I wanted but is what I expected.
Windows 7 was NOT my idea.

Here's another answer you probably won't want to see either...
 
Windows 7 and AutoCAD 2012 play REALLY nicely together.  If you have the computer to run Win 7 then you have a box that's fast and memory managed well.  Why not upgrade that old LT too?  A lot has been going on since 98-2000!

You are correct; not what I really wanted to hear.
The reason I want to run my old program is I'm retired and don't need the latest and greatest anymore. I only use AutoCad for laying out circuits I play with and I do not want to spend the absurd money for the little use I get out of it.

Best for you then to just have a go at installing it and see what happens.  It's going to try and install it as a 32-bit application because that's what those old versions are.  Just don't be surprised if odd behavior starts happening.
 
There are a lot of questions like yours on the various forum boards these days.  It's a growing pain.  All of us who stay current are soon to go thru a triennial one in a month or so when the 2013 versions launch.  But everything is being written for the 64-bit operating system now because it's so much more efficient with memory than 32-bit.
 
Good luck!
Dave.

I'm told about a 'Virtual Machine' application that will install XP in an area that does not conflict with W7. I've yet to try it but may have to play around with that.
 
Thanks for your input.
