Hey guys, yesterday i downloaded Alias Automotive 2014 with BROWSER DOWNLOAD, now trying to extract it. But Autodesk Self-Extract stucks at 44th second with 1.20GB . waited like half an hour. but did not work. Changed the extraction destination to another disk , SAME... Tried to run it as Administrator, but SAME problem...
Please can you help me out?
Hi All,
Welcome to the community!
Sorry to hear about the issue. Are you making sure to run this as the administrator? Also make sure everything is up to date including your graphics card driver and Windows.
Hi,
I am also having the same issue, Autodesk Self-Extract freezes at 6.38GB / 33.8GB. I'm running these from a folder on my desktop as administrator.
I am trying to install the 2017 version on Windows 7 64bit. All drivers are up to date.
Don't know if this will help anybody, but i was having the same issue and disabling my virus scanner temporarily allowed the software to extract without issue. McAfee in this case.
Some further information that may be causing this and might help others. There are multiple folders called "Root" in the self extractor. By default it's a protected folder and Anti-Virus agents may block and stop them from being extracted. Three options:
A) Autodesk could fix their installer and not use a protected system name such as "Root" for folder names
B) your antivirus administrator can implement an exclusion to not block these folders (there's dozens of them in the extractor. Work with your Antivirus Administrator to make sure they are all excluded)
C) Disable your antivurus software temporarily while you run the extraction and install.
Hi
I just bought my computer a few weeks ago Win 10 64bit. everything meets the requirement and I have tried disabling firewalls, UAC, turned off smartscreen and ran as admin also ran with the admin account. The self extractor still disappears. PLEASE HELP!!!!

@lynn_zhang ,i did everything according to your advice ,but same problem happened . give any other solution .
I've had this issue with every Revit self extractor to date. Here is what works
1. DISABLE ANTIVIRUS. Including Windows Defender. Turn all real-time protection off.
2. Move files from downloads to a different folder. In my case moving all to the root C:\ helped.
3. If your self extract app disappears for no reason - rename all exe files and remove SFX suffix. From something like "Revit_2018_G1_Win_64bit_dlm_001_003.sfx.exe" to "Revit_2018_G1_Win_64bit_dlm_001_003.exe". Do this with all files.
Of course you need to make sure you have enough free space and write permissions. This should help.
