Have you tried installing a localized version of Autocad (or on a non English Wine). Look like some of the errors by the .NET are thrown because of the installer trying to adapt itself to a localized environment as I can take that ruelle is using a Spanish Autocad/running Wine in Spanish. Quote from Microsoft: The ResourceManager class looks up culture-specific resources, provides resource fallback when a localized resource does not exist, and supports resource serialization. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.resources.resourcemanager.aspx
