Solved: Autodesk DWG TrueView 2017 on Remote Desktop Services

Solved Dwg 2018 And Autocad 2020
Solution for DGW TrueView 2017: Install once as an Administrator, then create 10 registry entries per user and setup Group Policy to use dwgviewr.exe to open .dwg files.
Tested on: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2
For TrueView 2018, see Autodesk DWG TrueView 2018 on RDS.

Solved Dwg 2018 And Autocad 2019
- HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAutodeskDWG TrueView
- CurVer
- HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAutodeskDWG TrueViewR15dwgviewr-0001:409
- AllUsersFolder
- AutodeskShared32Folder
- AutodeskSharedFolder
- DownloadedProgramFilesFolder
- GraphicsCacheFolder
- LocalRootFolder
- PublicFolder
- RoamableRootFolder
- SystemFolder
Important: Three of these need tweaking per user (GraphicsCacheFolder, LocalRootFolder, RoamableRootFolder) to point at the appropriate user profile folder.
When each user opens a .dwg file for the first time (or runs DWG TrueView directly) then the Autodesk installer will run and populate all other missing entries automatically (without trying to elevate).
I did find that not setting GraphicsCacheFolder still allowed DWG TrueView to work but the installer does not recreate this registry value.
