Trying to find EXPRESSTOOLS in an older version of AutoCAD

Trying to find EXPRESSTOOLS in an older version of AutoCAD

Trying to find EXPRESSTOOLS in an older version of AutoCAD

(OP)
I'm doing some work for a client who has 2 licensed seats of ACAD-2005. He has the Installation disks. One seat has express tools loaded and running, the other does not- he never loaded it on the other computer. Guess which one I'm using ! SO- I loaded the disk, clicked install express tools. The installation completed successfully- no indications of an installation error. Started the autocad. I'm used to the expresstools functions and menu coming right up. It didn't this time. I rebooted just in case. Nothing. I typed "expressmenu" at the command line. Got back the error "menu not found". Checked the Files tab in the "Options" dialog box. The path is there- C:\program files\autocad 2005\express. Tried menuload with no success. I guess at this point I'm stumped. Any suggestions ?
Thanks.

As I recall, the commands "expresstools" as well as "expressmenu" sometimes kick-started it.

About removing the existing ACAD and reinstall it as well as the Express Tools.

You think something's gone wrong with the original install that you'd suggest a reinstall ?

chicopee-

I took your suggestion and reinstalled and relicensed. Boy ! have you ever tried to relicense the reinstall of an old seat with AutoDESK ? Whew ! But eventually they came thru. Sure enough the reinstall seems to have worked. THANKS !
