I downloaded the student file from Autodesk, AutoCAD_Map_3D_2011_English_Win_64bit.part1, and ran the .exe.
When it gets very near completion is says that it requires another file, part 2 which is of type .rar. I have no idea what to do, as far as I understand the file from Autodesk is all I need. I'm forced to exit the installation.
I'm running windows vista if that has anything to do with my problem.
did u download AutoCAD_Map_3D_2011_English_Win_64bit.part2? u need both part 1 and part 2 to do the installation.
I didn't download using the akamai.com downloader that autodesk recommends, I just used my firefox browser and it only downloaded one file. When I did use the akamai downloader it downloaded both files, problem solved thanks.
