Doc 07 Overhaul (Sat):

  • docs: major update to doc 07 — WiX ABORTED, pivot to VLX .bundle/App Store

What Changed

Timeline: WiX MSI installer development ABORTED (Feb 28). Distribution strategy pivots to VLX .bundle format for Autodesk App Store. This removes the Mar 31 WiX GA target. App Store submission now targets Q3-Q4 2026.

Scope: Repo physically restructured — builds now under src/x32/, src/x64/, legacy under src/x86/, Nero project under exp/. CV Update.bat rewritten for junction-swap deployment. Tech Support button rewired to GitHub Issues.

Risk: Bug 20 (VLX crash on VM 104) initially misdiagnosed as exe-swap issue — theory disproven, real fix is deferred VLX loading via acaddoc.lsp. 8 source-mode bugs fixed this week (10-17). Only Bug 18 (progcont dead code) remains open.

What’s Next

  • Complete AutoIT validation script on VM 102 (XP baseline screenshots)

  • Begin .bundle format packaging for App Store

  • Continue GSCI alpha testing (Week 2: real-world workflows)

  • Address Bug 18 (progcont dead code / 4 identical menu routes)

Decisions Made

  • ✅ WiX installer development ABORTED — VLX .bundle to Autodesk App Store instead

  • ✅ Autodesk App Store promoted to PRIMARY distribution channel

  • ✅ White Cap retained as potential beta customer

  • ✅ Deferred VLX loading (acaddoc.lsp) adopted as standard deployment strategy

  • ✅ Bug 20 exe-swap theory officially disproven — original acad.exe restored to VM 104

Week of 2026-02-16

Status: � Yellow — Schedule slippage acknowledged, Weeks 4-5 replanned for recovery
Confidence: Moderate — Multi-OS installer monitoring complete, alpha testing plan drafted

What was Delivered

  • Checkpoint 3: CV3.60 monitoring data + cross-platform analysis

  • Document 4 CV3.60 installer bugs from XP-TEST install

  • Proxmox snapshots + CV3.60 UAC failure documentation

  • Fix Checkpoint 2 analysis: AV conflicts are installer-caused, not noise

Testing Infrastructure:

  • Add comprehensive installation execution plan with 4-tool monitoring workflow

  • Fix Inctrl5 two-phase mode instructions in FEASIBILITY_STUDY, MONITORING-PLAN, EXECUTION-PLAN

  • Fix Total Uninstall instructions for v6.18 (monitored programs, not profiles)

Doc-Level Clean Up:

  • refactor: Move installer studies into installer-recompilation/ subfolder

  • Remove duplicate nero files from modernization-2026 root

  • Organize installer testing documentation into dedicated folder

  • Feb 12: Win10 compatibility study complete, v3.60 vs v11.0 diff study

  • Add missing exe files: SendTo copy.exe, wincss2000.exe

  • Add PB11-00x64 source tree with acad2000/nanocad25 split

What Changed

Timeline: Week 3 slippage acknowledged — VLX recompilation shifted to Week 6. Added M2.5 Integration phase (Apr 1-30) as buffer. Replanned Weeks 4-5 for recovery.

Scope: GSCI alpha testing plan drafted, nanoCAD 64-bit testing restored to roadmap. Copilot instructions added for AI-assisted development.

Risk: 4 CV3.60 installer bugs documented with clear root causes. AV false positives reclassified as installer-caused. Multi-OS monitoring data captured across XP/Vista/Win7.

What’s Next

  • Begin walking v11 changes into v3.60 installer baseline

  • Acquire Win10 32-bit eval VM (90-day Microsoft license)

  • Target: CV11 running on Win10 (~Mar 10)

  • Organize alpha test VMs 201-202 for GSCI engineers

Decisions Made

  • AutoIt removed from tooling — incompatible with test VMs

  • M2.5 Integration & Bug Fixing phase added (April 1-30)

  • VLX recompilation shifted to Week 6 to accommodate slippage

Week of 2026-02-09

Status: 🟢 Green — BREAKTHROUGH WEEK — CV3.60 + AC2000 validated on 3 OS platforms
Confidence: High — Multi-OS installation confirmed, 8 bugs cataloged with clear fix paths

What was Delivered

  • 🎉 AC2000 + CV3.60 installed on XP, Vista, AND Win7 — no UAC issues (logged in as Administrator)

  • 8 bugs documented with root cause analysis in CV360-Installation-Analysis.md (470 lines)

  • 41 files identical across all 3 platforms — installer is consistent

  • Complete v11 installer specification created from 3-tool monitoring data

  • 3-tool monitoring data captured on all VMs (Total Uninstall, Inctrl5, Regshot)

  • Proxmox snapshots: ac2000-installed-20260210 and cv360-installed-20260210 on all 3 VMs

  • Bug 2 (UAC) downgraded from Critical to Low — works fine as Administrator

  • Nero wizard approach validated (isDcc bytecode won’t compile; wizard generates clean .rul)

  • docs: Add ConTech Optimizer business plan with revised financial projections (weidercx)

  • docs: Update VM testing documentation to reference tools/vm-testing repo location (weidercx)

  • Remove unused Bitvise SSH user files (weidercx)

  • Add Bitvise SSH XP installer from Proxmox ISO (weidercx)

  • Add Nero 4.0.9.0 InstallShield 6.1 working project and supporting files (weidercx)

  • Add Nero 4.0.9.0 InstallShield recompilation documentation (weidercx)

What Changed

Timeline: ✅ ON TRACK — Despite Week 3 slippage from Nero analysis, Week 4 delivered major breakthrough. CV3.60 + AC2000 validated on XP/Vista/Win7. The “95% failure rate” was based on non-Administrator testing — installer works when logged in as Administrator. M2 (Installer GA) remains achievable.

Scope: New intermediate target added: CV11 running on Win10 within ~1 month. Then NanoCAD (free) testing, then latest desktop AutoCAD (purchase required). Timeline buffer retained for bug fixing.

Risk: R3b de-escalated from CRITICAL to MEDIUM. R8 (Windows compatibility) de-escalated from ⚠️ WATCH to 🟡 PARTIAL. 8 bugs documented with clear fix paths. Bug 1 (profile detection) is highest priority for v11 bridge work.

  • AutoIt removed from tooling — broken on all VMs. 3-tool monitoring approach: Total Uninstall, Inctrl5, Regshot

  • New roadmap: Win10 32-bit → NanoCAD (free) → AutoCAD (purchase) → WiX installer GA
