Topic: Error Base.dcl not found

AutoCAD can be run 'as Administrator' or not.
I think this can be the reason for this behaviour. Could it? (needs more testing)
Whats to disclose about AutoCAD 2019? Haven't spotted anything noteworthy..

one typically has fewer issue IF it is installed and or run by the user as Administrator

Irrelevant, and not what you agreed to.     Not to mention, it's a BETA - it might actually work on the commercially released product.

..Finally, finally i got it to work!!!

step 1. Delete
C:\Users\hala6\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\C3D 2017\enu\support
from the support path (or AutoCAD 2019)

step 2. close AutoCAD
step 3. open AutoCAD

step 4. Add to support path
C:\Users\hala6\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\C3D 2017\enu\support
as a support path (or AutoCAD 2019)

I makes no sense but it works here!

I've had a similar problem in 2018 where the printer configuration couldn't be found.
I didn't remove the search path, but used the browse button and pointed to the same location: problem solved.

What i did was to 'hardcode' all paths and resources so i didn't have to work with support paths at all.
But i think the problem that caused it was the use of this code.
It is really strange because you see the roaming path where base.dcl is located is THERE in options but it just doesn't work
 
I don't really know.. did not bother to investigate
At least i solved it by NOT using it anymore !!

One thing that may be problematic:
If pos is non-nil the new search path tmp created by the gxl-Sys-AddSupportPath function will start with the ";" delimiter.
