can't download

[Anonymous]

Hi,

When i try downloading autocad everything seems to work, but when it's finished you're supposed to see what's installed and what went wrong and nothing has installed... i can't figure out why that is, I've tried everything, even changing the operating system, thinking it might work if i try 32-bit but nothing works. Please someone help.

Thanks,

Em

Welcome to the community...

Your installation may be failing due to the method (web installer) you're using.  If you are using this method, I will tell you it's unreliable and shouldn't be used. 

Download and install per:

1. Access the Autodesk Virtual Agent and follow the download links to your product.
2. Download all of the parts (some applications only have a single part to download) for your product first. Do not continue until all of the parts have fully downloaded.
3. Navigate to your download folder location and extract (double click) part _001_00X.sfx.exe (or the single file download).
4. In a few seconds the extraction will start and prompt you to extract to C:\Autodesk.
5. Once the extraction is finished, the installation will automatically start.
6. Follow the installation steps for your product

If you want the full recommended installation steps, click on the installation link in my signature.

However if the installation does fail using this method, please post your installation log file here so we can review it.  Posting info: Sometimes installation log files contain personal information such as your serial #.  Prior to posting your log file please make sure to remove such info.

Good luck on your installation and report back on your progress.
