Hi @Anonymous,

Thank you for the screenshot. The error message in the small box (from first screenshot) wasn't clear enough. Would you mind to provide another one so that we can read the error message better?

Besides, are you using commercial license or student license?

This is checklist before installing AutoCAD and Other components.

1. Turn off Anti-virus, firewall

2. Make sure connection Internet

3. It needs at least 6GB on your disk space

4. Verify that the installation path is correct (C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Your Version)

5. Clear your Temp folder (Link)

6. Disable UAC (Link)

Hi @Anonymous,

Just to follow up. How is your AutoCAD doing at the moment? Is the error still showing?

Btw I’m using a student license. And the error message come up because I’m trying to uninstall the program but apparently I cannot Because, as the error message says “an installation for FARO LS 1.1.6006 (64 bit) is currently suspended. You must undo the changes made by installation to continue. Do you want to undo those changes?” And even I click “yes” it keeps on ask me this. And what is faro?

Hi @Anonymous,

Are you also unable to uninstall even if you use the Microsoft FixIt Tool? Try using that to uninstall the software then follow the recommendations in the previous responses before reinstalling.

If issue persists, try following the suggested solution here. Let us know how it goes. Thanks.
