In one of our classrooms I have to install Autocad on 25 computers. It takes almost 1 - 2 hours for one installation. Ok, I take the time.
Yesterday, our headmaster went in the room an shut off the power for the whole room. But the installation on one computer wasn't finished. So I tried today again to install Autocad. The installation started right from the beginning with key and so on. But then it said Installation failed. But I can't find anything on the computer and I can't install Autocad again.
What can I do?
Thank you
Kai
If the installer may not letting you perform the re-install because it believes the software is already installed most likely there are registry keys left over from a partial install. Please use the microsoft install cleanup fixit tool at the below link
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
1.) Click the "Run now" Button in the Fix-it box
2.) Accept the License Agreement
3.) Choose the option "Detect Problems and let me select fixes to apply"
4.) Select "Uninstalling"
5.) When the list of installed programs populates, select the one from the list you are unable to Re-install and then click next and yes
6.) When the tool completes There may be remnants left so please delete the directory where the product was installed
Thanks for your answer but it hasn't helped.
When I start the microsoft install cleanup fixit tool I cannot find AutoCad 2014, just 2009, the one we had before and I would like to leave it on the computer until the students are able to use the new one.
The computer still gives me the notice that the installation is done and had a problem.
What can I do?
Oh, and I forgot, I attache the protocol of the mistake. Maybe this one helps to find the mistake.
Thank you

Looks like it's failing at the Visual C++ 2008 pre requitise according to your log
"Installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable (x86): "E:\3rdParty\x86\VCRedist\2008SP1\vcredist_x86.exe" /q

Please try uninstalling all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 from the system and then re install them from the links below and try the Autocad install again.
