Autocad 2016

[Anonymous]

I must be doing something wrong but whenever I try to download autocad 2016 I get to the installer but it doesn't have the option to download autocad itself but just network license manager, autodesk cad manager tools and autodesk content service. If I install those I get a bunch of files but none of them seem to have to application in them. please help, ive tried everything I can think of. 

Here a screenshot of my install screen.

Welcome to the community...

There's no need to provide a link to a image, just use the photo tools right in the posting..

Download and install per:

1. Access the Autodesk Virtual Agent and follow the download links to your product.

2. Download all of the parts (some applications only have a single part to download) for your product first. Do not continue until all of the parts have fully downloaded.
3. Navigate to your download folder location and extract (double click) part _001_00X.sfx.exe (or the single file download).
4. In a few seconds the extraction will start and prompt you to extract to C:\Autodesk.
5. Once the extraction is finished, the installation will automatically start.
6. Follow the installation steps for your product

However if the installation does fail using this method, please post your installation log file here so we can review it.  Posting info: Sometimes installation log files contain personal information such as your serial #.  Prior to posting your log file please make sure to remove such info

Good luck on your installation and report back on your progress.

I've done all of that but and the install completes properly but its like th program isn't in the install, almost like I'm installing the wrong product. But i go to autocad, click 2016 and I get what I showed in the first post.

So you actually went to the Autodesk Virtual Agent, downloaded the parts, extracted them and the installation started?

If you did you wouldn't be seeing the install for the license manager and CAD tools.

When the installer started did you get a window that had 3 options..

1.  Create a deployment

2.  Install Tools

3.  Install Now (or something like that).

That's correct, I clicked on install tools and that's where I got the screenshot of the 3 options only, then i clicked install. It installed those things but not autocad itself.

Install Tools is not what you want..  Pick the main install button.

There it goes, thank you so much. I thought install tools let me choose where to install it.
