    US Metric and UK content worked for me .

     I think the problem is Australia or New Zealand content.

     

     I think Austaralia content has the problem.  Unchek it end i think it will solve the problem.

     If not try to unchek the new zealand.

    Hmmm...

     

    I tried installing the content again, several times (after reboot, nothing running, AV disabled). Australia, New Zealand, UK and US Metric. Failed.

     

    After reading the post again, retried with only UK and US Metric. It installed.

     

    Retried with New Zealand, UK and US Metric. Failed.

     

    Retried with Australia, UK and US Metric. It installed.

     

    Finally retried with Australia, New Zealand, UK and US Metric. It installed?!!

     

    Something to do with the sequence?

     

    Any ideas?

    Maybe Australia and New Zealand installing together with some other content  gives the failure result. or somthing like that. I think it is in some content combination where it makes to failure.

     

     

    your result  with:

    "Finally retried with Australia, New Zealand, UK and US Metric. It installed?!!"

    vierd that one time it installs and second time it does not.

    Thanks everyone for brining this issue to our attention.

     

    We found some problems with some of the content on the servers and have corrected the problem. However there are mutliple servers hosting content so it may take a day or more for the changes to get replicated everywhere. So give the process some time and try installing or reinstalling your desired content again I would appreciate it.

     

    Thanks,

    Danny

    "vierd that one time it installs and second time it does not"

     

    Yes, very weird. Perhaps just down to the fact that each attempt was adding just one more content pack to the previous installation? Or maybe it was looking to different servers to download the content?

     

    Thank you Autodesk for looking into it swiftly and hopefully resolving it!

    Good day!

    I'm having this same problem, but the log file is different from yours. I, too, is to remove components of a "C +"?

    ACAD 2013 Failed - Installation aborted, Result=1603

    10-18-2012 03:21 PM in reply to: westroy

    Hello,

     

    I'm also having this issue, have tried several times to reinstall an no luck.

     

    To make a long story short I ran into some issues with my ACAD 2013 that was installed on my laptop while teaching a class, so I uninstalled it on Monday so I could do a clean install.

     

    Well I’ve tried many times and each time I keep getting the same error and failed install (Result 1603).

     

    I have attached my logs from the installs.

     

    Does anyone know a way to get around this? I have another ACAD 2013 class on Monday (Oct. 19th) so I need to get this installed again.

     

    I follows Autodesk specs for a clean install. I also uninstall all c++ and .Net installs that got updated after the original ACAD 2013 was install (this was a suggestion on the Autodesk forums). None of this has help?

     

    If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

     

    I have the Autodesk Building Design Ultimate Suite

    Was able to get this fixed, but took some work.

     

    Well it wasn’t Format C, but almost.

     

    I did the delete all the C++ stuff, and that wasn’t it.

     

    I deleted al the .net stuff that wasn’t it.

     

    I figured it was the Direct X, so I tried instill in before the ACAD install that didn’t work.

     

    I tried opening another Autodesk CAD product (ACA, or AMEP) to set it to ACAD mode, that didn’t work and it turned out that the ACAD core was busted.

     

    The final step was downloading a program called Revo that does hard core uninstalls. I uninstall all things to do with ACAD 2013, then did a complete reinstall in Diagnostic mode……and this worked.

     

    It looked like there was an issue deep down in the ACAD core and along the way some of the deep system and registry files got corrupted somehow.

     

    I may never really know what it was, but it all works now.

    I had the same error 1603. The problem I found was something completely different and specific to some other configurations that were running simultaneously. I would recommend running the installation once without silent mode (ie remove the /qb flag from the shortcut). This will actually give you a message when the installation hits the problem, and it's likely that that message will be in English...

    Hi all

    The solution for me was a missing catalog: \AdminImage\x64\RAC2013\Program Files\Autodesk\Root\Program\Setup\Cache\sfCache\inifile.xml. I copied this from the CD to the deployment folder and that solved the problem.

    But if you run the deployment as a silen install you will jiust have to start the install again after plasing the file where it expects to find it.

     

    Regards.
