AutoCAD LT 2017 for Mac free trial install fails

Anonymous — Thu, 27 Apr 2017 18:29:50 GMT

I'm trying to install the AutoCAD LT 2017 for Mac free trial and the installation fails with the message:

"The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

I can see the app in the Applications folder. When I start it I get the initial splash screen but then the application fails.
