I have tried to download Revit 2011 / 3DS 2011 and Autocad 2011 at various times over the past couple of days and am getting the same issue, again and again.
I am able to start the download, (parts 1 & 2 for max) which seem to complete perfectly to 100% download fine... after this point, nothing happens. If i tick the box for 'open after download' I get a message to tell me that its an unregonised file type.
I have installed all the .net framework files as requested prior to download, and restarted several times....
I've never had this issue in previous years? I have disabled windows firewall but it still doesnt seem to help.
Looking through my file structure, there is no autodesk file present, and as far as i can see no record of the download so assume it must be held in a temp buffer somewhere.
I am running windows vista ultimate x64 on a very new clean harddisk, with all current updates.
less than 30 days to finish my course... so please autodesk, help!
The process i am doing:
http://students.autodesk.com/?nd=download_detail_v3&product_id=10213
Click on 'download' a button below the system requirements link.
Note: i see talk of the download manager elsewhere on the above page but there is no download link for this? And cant find it as a seperate download on your site?
So assume it must be auto activated by clicking on the only 'download' button on the screen?
download completes, and there is a link visable which says 'open autocad2011 english 64bit'
on clicking this link i just get a pop up window telling me that '<long list of numbers and letters which matches download> is a file which was downloaded from teh internet. are you sure you want to open it?'
Click 'yes'
and i get the 'choose which program' screen pop up... as its an unrecognised file type...?
