Hello,
Background:
Although I'm on subscription I only install every 2nd or 3rd upgrade. Just a week or two ago I upgraded from 2010 to 2013 Building Design Suite. I installed all the default components in their default locations with the exception of the following:
1. As much of the program as permitted has been installed on D:\Programs;
2. I only installed the Australian Templates, and they're located in Z:\Autodesk\... ;
My user templates, etc. are in Z:\Templates\... and all my projects are in Z:\Client\...
Everything is working fine. I can open projects, create new projects using my templates and using the Autodesk Australian content templates.
Z: is a drive on my file server which gets backed up every night, thus I never lose any project, template or family, etc.
Having subscribed to an on-line training course, I need to install the US Imperial templates. While I'm at it, I may as well install the metric and a few others too.
Problem:
To install the extra templates I went to Control Panel / Uninstall or change a program / Autodesk Revit 2013. The Autodesk Revit 2013 installer opens with three options across the bottom:
When I choose Add or Remove Features I get the following error:
Error 1327. Invalid Drive Z:\
After clicking OK I get another error:
Fatal error during installation.
{7346B4A0-1300-510-0409-705C0D862004}: failed to run
AdskExecuteSequence.
Then:
This product failed to update.
I have a 64bit PC with 16GB ram. There is plenty of space on all drives.
Windows 7, .NET Framework 4.0.30319 and 4.5.50709.
I would appreciate any assistance on:
Thanks in advance.

User Access Control.
For some reason Autodesk sets UAC to Normal after installing software, even if it was turned off to start with.
Before installing or changing Autodesk software confirm that UAC is turned off using the following steps:
Thank goodness I was able to sort this one out myself ... now ... who do I bill for the downtime?
