cant finish instalation on revit architecture 2012

[ragnar11]

hey guys.

for some reason i cant install revit architecture 2012 on my computer. i download it and then when i intend to install it then it just says no. as soon as i push install it hits me back with "instalation complete, some product failed to install".. what the **** is up?

i installed autoCAD architecture no problem.. and is that maybe the problem? can i only use one product on this student agreement?

i actually deleted a arc and tried agein and nothing changed... i really could juse some help 🙂

Post the installation log so we can see where the failure is.  It's most likely a prerequisite installer failing.

please let this be an easy fix for the computer loser mr. me thank you! hehe

[TravisNave]

Very easy.

Install    Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x86)    Failed    Installation aborted, Result=1603

Your product is failing to install because the prerequiste program required by the installer is newer than the version being installed. Please uninstall the prerequisite program causing the issue and run your installer again.

For more information about this process, please see my KB link here:

Good Luck!
