Troubleshooting Navisworks Freedem 2015 Install

[Anonymous]

Every time I try to install the downoad for Freedome 2015 (Navisworks_Freedom_2015_dlm.sfx.exe at http://www.autodesk.com/products/autodesk-navisworks-family/autodesk-navisworks-freedom) it hangs up. Appears to still be extracting. I've experienced the same or similar problem w/the 2014 download. Managed to install the 2013 package, but it wouldn't run the *.NWD file I had sent to me.

The 2015 file always stalls at 429 MB out of 2.37 GB.

I am running a Win 7 Pro SP1 Dell 64-bit machine w/2.7 GHz i7 CPU and 4 GB of RAM.

Any suggestions to fix the install would be appreciated.

Thanks!

 4 GB RAM is borderline.  Not saying thats the problem (likely isn't) but 8 GB would be workable minimum.  IMHO you will be much happier with 12 - 16 GB.

Are you having problems getting the download, or installing?  ie. does the download finish?  If the download doesn't finish, try cleaning out temp folders and ensure you have enough space to both download and install the program.  The newer releases can be a little... chubby.  For what its worth, I grabbed both the x64 and x32 installers without problems.

And did you have the BETA release installed at any point?
