During the install of HydraCAD V56/57/58, the user is greeted with the message below.  Following the both sets of instructions of opening and closing AutoCAD, and running a repair of AutoCAD do not make a difference.  You'll still get the error message.

V56 = R23.X
V57 = R24.X
V58 = R25.X

V57 install will say;

Neither AutoCAD 2021, 2022, 2023 nor 2024 found (missing registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.X).

Please install it before re-running this install

When opening HydraCAD, you only receive this error message and not a HydraKEY error with the golden X.  If you receive a HydraKEY error, search for the linked HydraCARD in that message box as it takes priority.

Security Error: One of the following conditions is possible

HydraCAD is unable to function under these conditions.

• Lock database needs updating in HydraKEY
• Accounting flag on your account
• Hardware lock not plugged in
• Extra ACAD.RX file found in folder in Support File Search Path
• Sentinel driver is missing
• InstallPath registry item set to wrong drive

After AutoCAD opens, press F2 to view the command prompt, see if the text below appears.  If yes, see solution 1.

When attempting to open HydraCALC Sizer, you get this error;

Error:260:0:0

"Well this is new, not sure what's happening with your hardware lock, please get a current 'fix file' from Hydratec"

Double-clicking your HydraCALC icon makes nothing happen.  You do not see HydraCALC open onscreen nor on your taskbar.  HydraCALC does not open other than in the task manager.

If you open your task manager and see the app "Hyd_prog.exe" open but not on your taskbar, then the application is stuck in purgatory.

Another possibility may be that it's on the taskbar but not on your screen.  That means it's open but offscreen. 

See this HydraCARD to fix that issue;  HydraCARD 565 only AFTER you've checked on the solution below.

After starting the AutoLIST process, you get an error saying, "Error with Drop/Sprig annotation...  This one will be displayed"

When opening HydraCAD, you get this error
