I've tried following the instructions for the issues others have been having, like editing UAC, deleting .Net Profile and Extended, deleting TEMP files, etc. but it hasn't helped at all.
This is the screen I get after it fails.
And these are the two logs that it gave me:

which are identical as far as I can tell.
Can you try running that .net framework update directly. According to the log the file path is C:\Autodesk\WI\Autodesk AutoCAD 2014\3rdParty\NET\4\wcu\dotNetFramework\NDP40-KB2468871-v2-x64.exe
Just double click that EXE "DP40-KB2468871-v2-x64.exe" and let us know what the error says. Also .what version of Microsoft .net framework is currently installed on your system?
I currently have .Net framework 4, and this is what shows when trying to click on that exe:
and it's long but this is what the log file says:
