Installation & Licensing

[#1]

I have the attached message while trying to install Inventor 2012.  I have Inventor 2011 in the system.  Do I need to remove 2011 in order to install 2012?

Any advise on what is wrong with my installation?

[#2]

I've had the same problem with Autodesk Revit MEP 2012 and one otther one, ive tried a few installs and redownloaded it, nothing worked, did  you get yours working?

Hello,

I was having the same problem and the fix I posted in reply to "Total installati​on failure consistent​ly"  posted by tc8224 worked for me and 2 others. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit so please take that into account.

Search for the "Total installati​on failure consistent​ly"  post & see if that's what you're facing.

The problem is detailed in your log file.

It is failing on your C++ 2010 Redistributable.  Delete this program from your Control Panel > Programs and try to install again.

It may have to do with the 2012 versions because I went and tried the 2011 and all I tried worked

[#6]

Yes, the 2012 versions typically are showing installation errors when the required prerequisites that are already installed are newer than the installer expects.  Generally uninstalling the prereq fixes this 99% of the time.

Excellent and it works.  By removing the Microsoft C++ files as being told and re-installed the software.  Thanks.
