Hi everyone! my first post here. I am a UK student trying to download/install latest version of REVIT software. The problem Im having is that I have tried all three types of install (Installnow, download and browser) and i get the same message - communication error. Please see screenshot attachment.
I know that my C drive is very full and probably wont accommodate any more software but I had hoped to do a custom or advanced install and redirect it to my F drive. However, I cannot even get this far as I cannot download the software in the first place. I would appreciate any help available out there. Thank you in advance.

In addition, I should say that i moved my TEMP and TMP files from C drive to F drive - not sure if this has anything to do with it..?
Hi jamesa13, welcome to the Autodesk Community!
Please, disable your firewall and anti-virus programs and download Revit 2015 from the link below. You will then be able to activate it using the serial number obtained from the Education Community:
Please accept as solution if my post fully resolves your issue, or reply with additional details if the problem persists.
Hi Camilo,
Thanks for your reply. I did everything you said and got much further than before ! however, I still have a problem getting it all onto my F drive!! for some reason revit wants to install at least some part on my C drive, so inevitably it tells me im out of disc space and there ends the install process. I changed the path to my F drive but it seems to still require a minimum amount of free space on the C drive. Do you know why that is?
Please see screen shot.
Thanks for your help, really appreciate it.
Adam.

Thanks Darren, I did exactly that and it worked perfectly. FYI I moved dropbox to F drive. Do you know why Windows has this requirement even though it gives you the option to choose the location path?
Thanks for everyones help, a great first experience !!

I've added Revit 2015 English 64-bit access past my firewall. I still receive Communication Error. Is there a direct link I can go to? I am student.
