Knowing the system requirements for AutoCAD is a great and important first step to a successful installation.
Following Best Practices is another method to ensure that everything will install properly.
Now there is a tool that you can test your environment prior to the install! Here is a link to the Prerequisite Checker. This utility will help you verify that you are ready to install AutoCAD as well as over 40 other Autodesk applications.
I hope this helps you to get your software up and running quicker and more easily than ever before!
