Unable To Install

[compumster]

Good afternoon.

It appears that I'm having a problem with installing autodesk inventor. After the initial download period, I unzipped the installer and everything progressed normally. I then it up, and got to the point where it asked me for the serial number and product key. I did so and had no problems. It asked me which version of auto desk I wanted to install, and I chose the only available option: 2012 Proffesional Eddition. After being prompted to chose what elements to install, and choosing all of them, I clicked "Install" and that is when things went wrong. It flashed an instalation screen at me for a brief moment, depicted in picture one, and then promptly presented me with the screen shown in picture 2. I've also included the log file i was presented with after all was said and done.

Help?

You are failing on a prerequisite install:

Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x86) Failed Installation aborted, Result=1603

You can download this file direct from Microsoft at the following link:

Once installed successfully, reboot and run the Autodesk installer again.  Make sure you are installing with local Admin rights with UAC and anti-virus disabled.  Good luck!

Now what?

Probably why it is failing.  Strange because usually the installer skips if a prerequisite is already installed.  You could simply uninstall it and have the Autodesk software reinstall it.  Then just go get the updates again via Windows Update.  Probably the easiest thing to do...

Otherwise you can edit the .ini file to skip the prerequisite install for this.  Kind of advanced, but it works.

It seems that did the trick. Thank you for the help.
