File Corrupted Error w/ Autodesk Self-Extractor

[eliasbaldwin]

I have spend the last couple of days trying to install the student licenced AutoCAD 2015. The Install Now program never worked for me (I could never get past having a communication error despite spending many hours troubleshooting), so I decided to use the browser download option. After an hour of downloading (and that's with pretty quick internet) I ran the installer.

After two seconds I got this popup:

I'm rather dissapointed that after all of that time downloading I can't even install the software.

I've even downloaded and installed other 2015 Autodesk software using the same browser download method and it's worked fine.

It is a real pain not to be able to install this program after downloading a 1.6 GB file.

I would recommend that you try downloading your product using the virtual assistant by following the directions here:

It usually works better.

I have seen this before..  Not sure what is causing the issue but try a different browser and/or machine to download from the Virtual Agent.  I had one computer that I was downloading on and kept getting the same message.  When I switched to another machine it downloaded and extracted just fine.

Mark is right.  Try a different browser and make sure that your anti-virus is disabled during download.
