Trying to install Fusion for Personal Use and it is a PITA

[xshawnrichar]

I downloaded the Fusion Client Downloader. Used it to install Fusion on my Win10 machine. The program told me my license expired. I tried a trial years ago and deleted the program bc it was not useful to me at the time. So I figured I downloaded the wrong thing and deleted it and tried again. Now the downloader is telling me that Fusion is still installed and won't reinstall. Makes me want to never even try another AutoDesk product.

@xshawnrichar Now sure how to went about deleting it but please do the below. Please remember that it will still show as expired since your trial expired last year. 

Please try below steps to install Fusion. 
1. Make sure that Fusion installer is not running in task manager
2. Go to %localappdata%\Autodesk\ then DELETE the following folders – Webdeploy, Web Services, Identity services, Autodesk Fusion 360 ((IF you do not have any other Autodesk products installed, delete the Full Autodesk folder) 
3. Delete the shortcut that is used to launch Fusion
4. Restart your machine
5. Do not use the same Fusion installer. Can you please download the installer again
6. Now install again
