I'm trying to install autodesk maya 2014, yet while I install it, it says that theres a decompression failure, then it says that the overall installation has failed. I click on the installation log file and it says:

It says right there at the end that this is a 1603, so what am I supposed to do?
Thank you
Welcome to the forums!
It appears that the download and extraction is failing. You might try downloading by a different method, on another computer, or downloading the trial version.
Problems downloading the Autodesk software and/or CRC errors may be avoided by using another web browser, or using the alternate browser download method.
For more detailed information on this process, please see the following blog post tip here:

Hi there,
I too have problems installing Maya 2014. I have tried 2015, downloaded numerous times and tried reinstalling. Both Maya 2014 and 2015 fail to install just a few seconds after installation starts. Please help!
