aborted.(error:8) whilst installing

[Anonymous]

Hi, i have just downloaded the student version of AutoCAD 2016 to my HP 64-bit laptop running Windows 8.1.

Once i click on the instalation file it starts running, and then after a few seconds says "Aborted.(Error:8)"

Does anyone have any suggestion as to what can be causing this? or what i can do to get it to install?

Many thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you have an aborted install with an error: 8 warning. This is an indication that your Download Manager has gotten disconnected or blocked.

I suggest that you temporarily turn off your firewall and any security software so you can complete your install.

Here is a prior post on Best Practice when performing an install.

Did you turn off McAfee for the install process?  What's that question mark with the yellow exclamation in your notification bar?
