This was a problem reported by an an ADN Developer. The solution was also provided by the ADN developer:

If system administrators implement the policy described by Microsoft in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2264107 and set CWDIllegalInDllSearch to FFFFFFFF, the AutoCAD 2013 installer will fail being unable to load LiteHtml.dll

You need to detect the bad registry setting and warn people that they need to undo it.

The following .reg file causes the problem:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager]
"CWDIllegalInDllSearch"=dword:FFFFFFFF

This following .reg file fixes it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager]
"CWDIllegalInDllSearch"=dword:00000000

    I had similar problem. The information about system:
    Windows 8 x64 Enterprise Edition
    AutoDesk 3ds Max 2012 x64
    The error says that since the LiteHtml.dll cannot be located, the installation cannot start.
    Solution:
    I have right clicked to the setup.exe and troubleshoot compatilibity. I have selcted windows xp sp3.
    It has installed successfully.
