Both at home and office,Maya try to install but after a while gives me this error.....Source File not found, Maya Entertainment Suite Win 64, precompiled Graphs\93437458-FD45-41D9-8F2E-8F2E-8B4F60CF9356.dll. Bifrost.
Verify that the file exists....
Seems like can't install Bifrost and entire installation Fails.

Bifrost doesn't play nice with antivirus software apparently. I disabled it for the download and Maya installed completely.
Thanks to all, still nothing here, I turned off Firewall and Avast and still fails, I've tried another 5 times since last night.
Maybe there's still a feature in Avast that I haven't blocked...I guess I'll uninstall Avast completely and try again.
Thanks Menconi for the warning which makes sense, however I had already removed Avast and try a new Maya install, still failed on bifrost warning.
I'm given up for a few days now cause I got better things to do.
I reinstalled Avast and Firewall is back on.
I'll keep my eyes open on the forum and some news from Autodesk on a work around this download.
As a final note , my install did not ask to create a firewall excemption and I've tried as Admnistrator, also as Run option and as Save file and then executing it.
Same here. I followed these instructions and tried copying to 😧 as well as to C: - doesn't work. Maya doesn't even have this folder it is looking for. At least in 2014 version it doesn't have it. Waiting for a solution to this problem...
OK got it to work!! Woop. Basiclly you want to do the browser download of Maya 2015 (I was downloading the student version) then turn Avast off, install and turn back on and it finally worked after 4 attempts.
Another Update, Once inside Maya anytime you click on Bifrost Avast will stop it from launching. I cannot run sims nor can I do anything realted to Bifrost. AD please Fix this.
Final Update and How 2 Guide.
Fianlly got it fully working, this is how I overcame the werid installation problems with using Avast Anti Virus.
1. Download the Browser Installer version instead of using AD's Download Manager.
2. Disable Avast (Not Uninstall)
3. Install Maya 2015.
4. Activate and Turn Avast Back on
5. Load Maya 2015 try to use Bifrost you get a Avast and a Maya Error.
6. Make an exclusion for the Bifrost file in Avast, then go to Maya 2015 installer and click repair.
7. Reload Maya 2015 and all should be well.
Thanks & Happy Easter.

Thanks all,
I ended up installing the entertainment suite " Trial" with Avast disabled and finally worked for me.
Once the icon shortcuts started to appear in the desktop I knew that the install was going to work.
After Maya trial opened I just entered my license key and got activated, also Mudbox and Motion builder.
Appreciated all the help guys.
Now gotta install it at work.
Hi everybody... I have the same problem installing Maya 2015 with the bifrost file... if you don't want to download again do this: when the error window appears don't cancel, you have just to go to the folder C:\Autodesk\WI\Autodesk Maya 2015\x64\Maya\Autodesk\Maya2015\plug-ins\bifrost\bin\precompiledGraphs... and you will see the file 93437458-FD45-41D9-8F2E-8B4F60CF9356.bin... just rename the extension to 93437458-FD45-41D9-8F2E-8B4F60CF9356.dll and then click on the Retry buttom in the Error window message... everything will go ok.
Anyway you can also dissable avast antivirus until the installation finish, maybe avast will change the extension again.
I hope you understand my english 🙂
I finally got to install Maya 2015.
1. I deleted all the folders and files I had from Maya 2015.
2. I disabled my Antivirus Software (Avast) AND Windows Firewall.
3. I went to the Free Student Versions for Academics to download Maya 2015. Changed from "Install now" to "Download now". (4gb+)
4. Downloaded and extracted to the same drive.
5. Installed to the default location (C:Program Files\Autodesk)
The Firewall and Antivirus must be disabled for this to work the whole process. You can turn it back on when it is installed correctly.
I just hit this problem and didn'n want to spend time downloading again.
And there's no reason to.
Here's a simple answer:-
Avast is just preventing the .dll from being unwrapped, so all you do is stop Avast and reopen your existing download.
Total time, once I researched it, about five minutes!
Ta-Daa!
