AutoCAD 2018 Installation error

Anonymous — Thu, 05 Apr 2018 11:24:51 GMT

I have recently got a new computer and wanted to re-install AutoCAD. I have tried to use the standard download assistance and the brower download and always have the following error message when trying to install (my name has been replaced with XXXXX). Your help is much appreciated:

C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\_AIDCDC.tmp\Setup.exe

/s 😧 Program Files\AutoDesk\AutoCAD_2018_English_64bit-dlm\

/temp C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\_AIDCDC.tmp\

/SecondRun /lang en-us /FirstRunThreadld 11808

The C Drive is my SSD and D my main hard drive.

I would also clean out the %temp% folder too. It's OK if everything doesn't get deleted, we want to get as much as possible.

Thank you for your help Mike! I had to create the second temporary file as shown in your link.
