Causes:
These issues occur because these Extensions are meant for German Language Operating System and German Language Civil 3D, and are specifically designed to assist with projects in the German Speaking countries in Europe.  So it alters Civil 3D and will try and pass German commands/functions to either Civil 3D or Windows OS, hence why these errors start occurring.


Solution:
The solution is very simple.  Close Civil 3D, then go to Control Panel, select Programs and Features (or Uninstall a Program), look for and uninstall anything DACH and/or ISYBAU.
