Welcome to the Autodesk User's Community..

This is a standard crash report and we have not clue why it would crash.. Are you saying this appeared while installing or after installation when launching the program?

There is no easy fix. Ready?

First and foremost, you want to have all the installation files on your PC. This is not the time to use the INSTALL NOW option from the web. When you have that 1Gig+ file on your PC, you are ready for the following steps:

1. Go to Microsoft's fixit tool, install it, and run it: select the installation problem solver, it should list AutoCAD 2016, select it, do what it says to do, here is the link https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed

2. Repeat the above, except choose the uninstall option and f you see AutoCAD2016, select it and do what the program says to do.

3. Go into WIn7's Programs list and remove all versions of C++ 2010, 2013 and 2015 if they exist.

4. Empty your Windows Log-in Temp folder: here is how to do that http://www.auxiliary.com/it/documents/CleanTempFolderWindows7.pdf

5. Try the AutoCAD installation again by right-clicking on the installation file and choosing RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.

Hello @Anonymous,

Thank you for letting us know.

You received this error before installing, correct? This means you don't have the application installed, so uninstalling it will not help or work. What operating system are you trying to install this on?

Please try to re-create the event/pull up the error again & locate the event error using Event Viewer then search for it online this will help you determine the root cause. Something on your operating system is preventing you from installing the application.
