Installation & Licensing

[#1]

Hi,

I downloaded Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012 and tried to install 6 times using the product key and serial number i was given through student download centre and it failed to install.

Then i tried to intall a trial version and thinking of putting the product key later on, its says installation complete and some products failed to install which are the autodesk design review 2012 and autodesk material library 2012.  There is a installation log file which says:

Hi qjy5567 -  There may be a newer version of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package installed on your computer which is causing the install failure.

A typical workaround is to uinstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x86) via the Control Panel (add / remove programs), reinstall the software, and then install the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x86) from Microsoft (linked here).

Please accept as a solution if this fully resolves the issue, or reply with specifics if the problem still persists.

Hi rosettamills,

There might be a possibility that your download file was corrupted / incomplete. Can you please delete the previous and try again via the following 48hr timed direct download links (I looked up your most recent download / let me know if you need a different product).

Click here for Revit Architecture 2012 32/64BIT

I also had this failed installation issue.  I followed the suggested steps and it worked. I am up and running now.  Thank you for posting..

I turned of the microsoft firewall but still the system ask me for permission for installation. This might have interupted the installation process and thus the failure notice was posted.

AutodeskDownloadManagerSetup was terminated.
