Autocad 2005 broken again on 1.1.1

[miciomax]

Well, bad news.... Autocad 2005 is broken again on new wine (1.1.0 +)
It installs ok, but then crashes (many times, not always...) with gdiplus error on startup, and always with gdiplus error on exit.

So... better fetch wine 1.0 and stay with it for the moment, and follow the howto on appdb.
Or, if you prefere, install native gdiplus along all other natives needed (see howto).

If you have an already installed wineprefix with autocad inside, keep it like gold, it still works; the problems are (as usual...) just in setup side.

BTW.... big step backward, indeed.

run a regression test and file a bug report if one has not been filed already

Done, and updated howto.
It works again, but only with native gdiplus.

what about 1.1.2 and autocad???

The same as 1.1.1
BTW, if you're on 64 bit ubuntu,, better stay on 1.1.1 OR fiddle a bit with build... changes on cups made printers disappears, but JUST for ubuntu 64 bit.
It seems it's solved on latest git.
