Running VBA Macro in AutoCAD?

Question

I'm making a .bundle folder for the plugins I've programmed for AutoCAD. At the root of the folder is my PackageContents.xml bundle where all of my Lisp plugins are autoloaded. Since .dvb is not a supported type for Autoloading I made a Lisp file to be autoloaded with the following code (defun C:CSC () (vl-vbaload "WindowsDoors.dvb") (vl-vbarun "WindowsDoors.dvb!CAD_STANDARD_CREATOR!CAD_STANDARD_BLOCK!CAD_STANDARD_PATH") ) The code runs and puts my plugin, WindowsDoors.dvb into AutoCAD but when I try to use the plugin the command line gives me the following Command -vbarun Initializing VBA System Macro name: RunMeWindowDoor Execution error Normally this would suggest a bug in the code except when I manually load this plugin with AutoCAD 2014's built in application loader under the manage tab it works fine leaving me with no idea what is wrong.

I do not know what version of AutoCad you are ultimately trying to load the script into, but if it is into the 2018 version, you will have to do a specific update that they released. The update can be found by going to google and typing "Autodesk account". choose the correct site. login to your account. After logging in, in the top right corner should be a hyperlink that reads "manage products and downloads". The page that brings up should have a banner on the left-hand side with a link called "product updates. Then download any updates your software needs. This might sort out your glitch. Sorry if I can't be more of a help
