Install of AutoCAD 2014 from an admin install point

[Anonymous]

I'm having trouble installing AutoCAD from our typical install point.  I've tested and confirm that it works on other systems.  On this one computer I keep failing to install.  This is the log:

From looking at other posts this seems to happen when the installer try to install a pre-requisit and then the whole install fails.  I've tried by removing all MS Visual C++ packages installed and the app still fails.

If I use the GUI mode I have another error where the installer fails trying to find a directory named something like Autocad\R19.1 and then will not go any farther.

I've attempted to add the registry key under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" for Common Documents as no keys are in this location as it looks like Windows 7 Pro uses a different location.    This did not fix the installer.

I'm at a lose to what I can attempt next. 

Any help appreciated

When it hit a snag like that, go to Windows Temp folder , empty it, reboot and try again.

No joy.

Cleared out c:\windows\temp and rebooted same error.  Here is a screenshot:

Installation and Licensing.

Turns out this registry entry:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Common Documents = C:\Users\Public\Documents

C:\Users\Public\Documents <- This folder did not exist.  Creating the folder made the installer work.

The error provided should be more descriptive.
