Cannot install Civil 3D 2013

[normans]

Very frustrating - Appreciate any assistance

I have uninstalled, deleted folders, deleted registry keys per Acad Instructions till I'm blue in the face. At 3 of 8, the Internal Error 2738 appears, select OK, Install bar progresses for awhile then ends with msg: Failed.

Install log:

Many thanks to all that responded (0). Especially those Acad staff:

"Get answers to your Installation and licensing questions in our Installation & Licensing forum. Autodesk staff will be actively monitoring this forum, working with the existing community to answer your installation and licensing questions.

For those that exp same:

I was able to install C3D after uninstalling McAfee. I used a removal tool called MCPR.exe which removed all McAfee components. I was using info from TS45252 and Diagnostic start in msconfig (only service selected was Win Installer).

After restarting from msconfig I noticed that there was still 3 McAfee services running. This and frustration are what lead me to uninstall McAfee. C3D installed without a problem.

Thanks for the update.  We always recommend that installations are started on the local hard drive with local admin rights, UAC off, and anti-virus disabled.  Beyond that, there are typical issues resulting from prerequisite failures or including service packs with the install.

This is a peer support forum of users helping users.  I hope your post helps someone in the future with this problem.  Thanks for contributing!
