I suspect that you either have a problem with your .NET Framework, or you have some sort of virus or malware that is preventing the installer from running correctly.

I have had, and just worked out how to fix this issue.

What started all this issue for me was when I added a 3rd display screen to my CAD workstation. Then Autocad failed to start, so I attempted repairs/reinstalls.

1) Uninstalled all version 4 .net frameworks.
2) Scanned registry with regedit and removed all autodesk references
3) Deleted all Autodesk/Autocad related folders on the machine

These didn't fix the issue.

4) Updated the Display Link driver software for the USB3 display module that I use for a 3rd display.

I updated to Autocad 2014 along the way to resolving this. The Autocad 2014 installer also re-installs the correct versions of .Net framework 4, so you can start with no .Net's installed.

FIXED! I suspect that disabling the device/uninstalling the driver etc would have also works.

This means that there is potentially issues with certanin display drivers out there that cause this issue to present itself.

THANK YOU MAN!!! I had been looking for solution for hours. And then - it just took reinstalling my nVidia driver to make a miracle happen.
