Hi there. I'm trying to help a friend install Revit 2012 on her laptop. After downloading the file, it starts the normal installation/file extraction with no errors. But after selecting which products to install (the actual Revit program, the materials library, and one other), the next screen starts to show the normal installation process and then immediately switches to an installation failed screen.
I performed the Autodesk file wipe (from here: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=2887771&linkID=9240617) and tried again to no avail. Same error. Could it be I missed a file?
She's using Windows Vista, 32 bit. I'm not sure what the other specs are but I can update tomorrow along with screenshots. Thanks for any assistance!

Include your installation log here and perhaps it will show why it is failing. Thanks.
Attached is the log file and a screenshot of the failure page. My only clue might be something to do with Microsoft C++, whatever that is, because the installation fails when it says that is what is being installed.
Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x86) Failed Installation aborted, Result=1603
You would be correct. Go into your Control Panel > Programs and delete your Visual C++ 2010 if it exists. Then you should be able to reinstall as the Autodesk installer will reinstall the prerequisite.
Hi,
Use the following procedure to uninstall Revit 2012 products and remove any remnants from your system. The end result is a clean system on which you can reinstall.
Note that all paths listed by default are for Revit Architecture 2012. Substitute the product name below based on the Revit 2012 product you are uninstalling:
Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012/RAC 2012
Autodesk Revit Structure 2012/RST 2012
Autodesk Revit MEP 2012/RME 2012
Substitute the current Windows login name for %username%.
Please ensure to backup any custom family or template files
