This monring i upgrade FME version 2024.2 to last version FME 2025.0 and after upgrade i start my workbench which include “Bentley Microstation V8” reader. FME give a message “Module 'acad/ACAD' is unavailable for use with this FME edition” why ? I resarch old topic in the Community some body had some problem at 2022. But no body give any solution way for fixed this problem. Also i found acad.dll in C:\Program Files\FME\plugins\acad. 

What is real problem ?  

Note: After uptdate FME i am uninstall Autocad Map program from my computer. Think couldnt any relation maybe, because the Autocad differntly program.

Please try re-installing FME 2025.0 on your computer. FME and AutoCAD Map 3D share some DLLs that may have been deleted when AutoCAD was uninstalled. Reinstalling FME should fix this! If you continue to have this issue, please submit a support case for us to look into further :)

Hi Evie, Actually I know if I re-install 2025.0 fix the Acad.dll problem. During send the topic I was suspect vhy I got that message. For reason I wrote the on my message a note about uninstall Autocad. But i couldn't think FME used Autocad DLL’s ( is another product). So now I am afraid some different problems about new verison Of FME. Reason allready I am working on a project which must be delivered in short time. After delivery project of course i will do it.

Thank you interested.

Hi ​@omerseyfettin,

From the information in the log file, it appears the ACAD module is not fully loading. I also noticed that FME is not able to add the the System PATH due to its length, which may interfere with loading DLLs.

Please remove all the existing FME and Autodesk related paths from the System PATH, and any others that you can do without. With the smaller PATH, FME will be able to add its required folders temporarily to the beginning, ensuring it has access to all its DLLs.
