Failed Autocad install, and difficulties in reinstalling

[eman95403]

After the launcher installed autocad 2015, it then said it had failed to install it and several other things. I then tried to reinstall through the online autocad account manager but when the files finishes downloading and then run, it stops immediately and gives an error 8. I have tried to find the autocad program in the control panel to uninstall but it does not appear there and using the windows fixit tool doesnt find it either. Any suggestions to do so?

But would I be able to do the virtual agent or some other download way if I have the student version of autocad? It does not give me nother option on how to download.
