Installation & Licensing

[#1]

I have downloaded autocad and inventor (student version) multiple times and every time it said that it cannot install on my current operating system. i have windows vista and i have tried both the 32 and 64 bits for both versions and it still says it cannot download on my os. i have met all the requirements and still nothing. does anyone have the same problem or has experienced this that can help me out? thank you

Hi,

Your problem is with the download or with the install ?
If it's with download, what navigator did you use ?
You say that you have Vista but which version ? Home, Pro... 32 or 64 bits...
And which version of AutoCAD and Inventor are you trying to use ?

Hello Franck, thank you for helping me.

My problem is with the installation. When the download is complete a message pops up and says install, so i install. once that is done another screen comes up where it says install the product, create deployments, install tools and utilities and read the documentation. so i select install the product and the message appears "you cannot install this product on the current operating system." (this is for AutoCAD 2011)

I have windows vista home premium, 64 bit

I am trying to download autocad 2011, and autocad inventor 2011 or 2010

Well, I am running AutoCAD 2010 and 2011 and Inventor 2010 and 2011 on Windows Vista Home 32-bit version, so I would expect the 64-bit version to run as well (on 64-bit Vista Home). We'll see later this week when I'm changing my OS.

[#8]

oh, well that is weird. Did you have any problems with the downloading/installation? and do you have any problems while actually running the software?
im still trying to find some solutions, or i might upgrade to windows 7 to get inventor and autocad.

thanks for the post

I have the same problem, but my pc is a HP with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, 4 gb en Ram 750 Gigas DD, and intel dual core 2.4 Ghz.

The steps are:

Put DVD  and automatic detection.

But when I click a Install Autocad 2011

show in screen this error "Cannot install on the current operating system?"

Why show this problem if I have the requirements?

AutoCAD 2011 has 3 DVD’s:

    Disk one is 32-bit Disk 1 of 2.

    Disk two is 64-bit Disk 1 of 2.

    Disk three is 32-bit and 64-bit disk 2 of 2.

Make sure you are inserting the 64-bit DVD for 64-bit operating systems or the 32-bit DVD for 32-bit operating systems.
