1730 error issue for AutoCAD Architecture 2024/2025

The 1730 error you are encountering when launching Autodesk Architecture is related to User Account Control (UAC) prompts that can occur during the installation and operation of certain applications, including Autodesk products. This issue has been noted in the context of Windows security updates, particularly after the August 2025 Windows security update, which enforces UAC prompts for standard users when performing Windows Installer (MSI) repair operations.

To resolve this issue, it is recommended to ensure that the latest Windows security updates are installed. Specifically, the September 2025 update (KB5065429) addresses UAC prompt requirements during MSI repair operations. Additionally, IT administrators can consider adding specific MSI files to an allowlist to disable UAC prompts for those applications, which may help alleviate the issue for your students.

If the problem persists, further troubleshooting may be necessary, including checking for any specific configurations or settings that may be affecting the installation and operation of Autodesk Architecture on the college laptops.
