Cannot Install AutoCAD 2013, 2012, or 2011!

I'm having an incredibly difficult time attempting to install any of the recent versions of AutoCAD on my 3 month old Lenovo Ideapad, which exceeds all of the system requirements. I am using the free download license from the Autodesk Education Community. I'm really at a loss as to what to do, because I have attempted several solutions suggested here in the Autodesk forums, with no results. I have had no trouble with any programs other than AutoCAD.

 

Here are the errors I got installing 2013. 2012 was very similar:

 

The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2738.

 

However, installation continued until another error message appeared:

 

Internal Error 2738.

 

The installation continued to progress, until finally another error message appeared:

Can’t find script engine “VBScript” for script C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\OFFICEICON.vbs.

 

And a screen popped up stating that the installation had failed for all products included in the 2013 AutoCAD download.

 

This was my install log attempting to install AutoCAD 2013:

AutoCAD 2011 successfully installed on my latest atempt, but refuses to run (it closes down, just after it begins to load).

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Hi Michael,

 

Sorry to hear you're having problems with your installation. This thread may be helpful, can you check it our and let me know if it solves the issue for you?

 

Thanks,

Thank you for responding, but that link doesn't work! (rather than going to the thread, it goes to a page that states:

 An invalid set of parameters has been specified in the url.)

Hi Michael, 

 

Sorry for the late response. The correct link is this.

 

Let me know how it goes, please:.

Thanks. I haven't had time to try the solution yet. The more pressing matter for now is getting 3ds Max to run. Both the 2012 and 2013 versions successfully install, but crash on startup.

I attempted to install AutoCad 2013 again with a new download and the install now option on the AutoDesk Education Community's website. I received a slighly different installation log, but with the same error codes: 1603 and 1619.

 

It is not clear to me which programs I may have to uninstall. Is it Autodesk Content Service and Direct X?

 

Here is my install log:
