Installation & Licensing

[#1]

Hi there

I am having problems installing AutoCAD on my computer. 

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate with .NET Framework 4 client profile and Extended installed version 4.0.30319

I have already modified the setup.ini file by deleting all references to  .Net Framework as per this post.

This is the message I received in the installation log

The 1603 error is a general Windows error-code that implies failed installation. 

To isolate this issue, please check on the following :

- If you are running Network install, please try to turn off silent installations and observe where the installer fails. This may give an indication of which resource the permissions are lacking in.

- Please ensure that you have full permissions to your machine and to the location where the deployment exists while you are installing from the deployment.

- Please ensure anti-virus software and firewalls are disabled (to ascertain if these hinder the installation).

- Please ensure that the installing user has Local Administrative group membership and that no restrictions are imposed to required users account. Note that Local Administrative privileges are required for installation.

- Do not relocate the My Documents folder off of the Local System and do not use Roaming Profiles.

- Ensure simple and short pathname used on source and target machine.

- Clear Windows Temp and User Temp folders.

- Re-install .NET framework (from DVD or download from Microsoft)
