Hi

This is related to VC++ runtime error, reinstalling those componets should fix the issue.

Still doesn't work.

Whats next!

Have you installed all the Vc++ runtime manually. ?

Please post the logs again

[#6]

I removed Vc++  using the Control Panel after making the change in the registry.

Here's the log

[#7]

Please try to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x86) manually as described in the other post.

It is still failing on the same component.

All I can say is what a pain in the ****!

Finally got it installed. The Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x86) kept asking for the .msi file.

Had to rename the key-name
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\F942F94A19C0F79468FD2B85E5E8677B to

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\-F942F94A19C0F79468FD2B85E5E8677B

and then re-run the installer.

I hope Autodesk fixes this issue in future versions.

Glad you could fix it using the registry.

I can understand your frustration, this is a Microsoft component (runtime) which gets installed with various other programs, usually cleanly uninstalling these components and reinstalling fixes the issue.
