Autodesk Inventor Pro 2014 Self-Extract error

[permirror]

Hello everybody, I have been download Autodesk Inventor professional 2014 from Autodesk Students website, but when I install, the error occurs: "Product download consists of multiple files. At least one file is missing or has not been download yet". I have been tried to download 2 or 3 times.But I still got same clues. Could you help me?

if you are using the auto-downloader you might instead try downloading the install file with your browser.

I got this error a number of times when I used the browser download method. In the end I got the Factory Design Suite downloaded error free using the direct links from my browser.

But the Product Design Suite kept doing what you've shown, I downloaded it 3 times in total. In the end of got the PrDS downloaded using the Download Manager instead of the direct links. The key to getting the DL manager to work is to make sure it's not blocked by any firewalls in your network.

So the DL manager didn't work at my workplace, but it did when I used it from home.

Oh & this seems to be random, I sent the same PrDS download links which were problematic for me, to someone else and they downloaded them error free.

Unfortunately there's no way around your error other than downloading it again. Sorry..

I have been contacted with Autodesk Community Support, they said they will troubleshoot this issue and will provide exact solution. So I think, I just waiting! Thank everyone!

Sometimes I forget that it comes as several files, and when I get 4 download pop-ups I cancel the extra three thinking it's a glitch. You have to actually accept four different browser downloads.

Thanks, Mike!  That fixed it for me (I'm installing Building Design Suite Premium).

It should have occurred to me to look closer at the multiple 'save' dialogs that popped up, but I just thought it was a glitch with the site.  On closer inspection, each filename suggests file # of 4:

..._001_004.sfx.exe

..._002_004.sfx.exe

..._003_004.sfx.exe

..._004_004.sfx.exe

Thanks for taking the time to post.

Hello,

If you choose to use Browser download method,

please make sure that the pop-up blocker of your browser is completely turned off

(or at least is turned off for autodesk web site)

There are 3 separate files to be downloaded:

Autodesk_PRDSS_2014_Enu_Win_64bit_dlm_001_003.sfx.exe

Autodesk_PRDSS_2014_Enu_Win_64bit_dlm_002_003.sfx.exe

Autodesk_PRDSS_2014_Enu_Win_64bit_dlm_003_003.sfx.exe

Only when all the 3 files are downloaded to your computer and they are in the same folder, you can proceed with installation!

Hope this helps!

Hey i have the same error with my PC (Dell insprion 17 CORE i3 processor, Windows 8.1) I know it will run on my PC but when i download it i only get the Autodesk_Inventor_2014_Eng_64bit_dlm_001_002.sfx.exe file and no others. I am using Google Chrome and the browser download. 

[farbodsalamat]

I'm having exactly the same issue. I first tryed the 'Install Now' option, and the installation kept failing. If I remember correctly, the installation log mentioned something about not being able to download the materials library, then aborted the installation.
Then I tried the 'Browser Download' option. It just downloaded one file - 'Autodesk_Inventor_2014_Eng_64bit_dlm_001_002.sfx.exe'.
I click this after the download completes and it gives me that self-extract error.

By the way, my computer is a:
Dell Inspiron 15z Ultrabook
Intel Core i7-3537U
8GB RAM

Windows 8.1 64-bit

Someone please help.

Thanks

I have the exact same issue. I previously tried the "Install Now" but I would get a popup saying "Network Error" not long after I click the .exe file. It isn't my firewall or anti-virus software, as I have tried disabling both. I then tried the browser download for the 2nd time. It gives me the auto extract error saying what the original poster took a screenshot of. The only file that was downloaded is Autodesk_Inventor_2014_Eng_64bit_dlm_001_002.sfx.exe.

My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C-50-A-03F and I used Google Chrome for the browser download.

Intel i3, 8GB RAM, Windows 8.1, etc.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hello, I found a solution. You'll just need this two files. Open this two links below and the download will start. You can change the language replacing "Eng" for the language you want. Put the files in a seperate folder and doubleclick the first. The error is gone.

It has worked fine on my computer.

Where do i get these files without downloading the full program again ?

[malte.mahnke]

It doesn't work..
It#s the same error like every time.
It need some files, which i haven't got.

[bcbbc67]

Ok here is what i did:

When Prompted, I used the DOWNLOAD NOW Opiton, Which will install the Autodesk Download Manager (Only if you dont have it) After it is done, it should download all the files from there.

If you already have it, Then just simply click the Download Now opiton and the manager should open

Have Fun Inventing!

This is the link to the 2nd file. Download it. Put it in the same folder as the first file and extract.

awesome work...thank you
its working now

[antonio.aguilera2017]

I am reciving this same error but am only reciving 1 file. Tried re-downloading several times and still got the error. Any ideas?

[f.obelenis]

Hello Guys i had the same problem and i think i fixed it. Thats a problem with the popup blocker from the browser. The inventor downloads 2 files, then the popup is blocking the other one...

What i did was to copy the link address wich ends with

DLM/Autodesk_Inventor_2015_English_Win_64bit_dlm_001_002.sfx.exe

and changed it to

DLM/Autodesk_Inventor_2015_English_Win_64bit_dlm_002_002.sfx.exe

hope it helps...

[fantom006]

it works

thanksssssssss

[jameshbabu]

the solution is rather simple. when you give browser download most probably you are going to get only 1 file.

now look at the file name. for Eg: inventor 2015 the name of the first file looks like

Autodesk_Inventor_2015_English_Win_64bit_R1_dlm_001_002.sfx.exe

and the download link will be something like this : h**p://edutrial.autodesk.com/SWDLDNET4/2015/INVNTOR/DLM/Autodesk_Inventor_2015_English_Win_64bit_R1_dlm_001_002.sfx.exe

now if you look at the right hand side of name (highlighted in RED ) we have "001_002" which means we need two files and this is first part.

To get the second part just change the 001 into 002 in the download link. like below: 

h**p://edutrial.autodesk.com/SWDLDNET4/2015/INVNTOR/DLM/Autodesk_Inventor_2015_English_Win_64bit_R1_dlm_002_002.sfx.exe

put both files in same folder and we are done !!
