Hello Cyrenjan23,

Looks like your installs all fail trying to install the Microsoft visual C++ 2008 pre requisite.

"2015/10/6:21:58:26 User USER-PC Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable (x64) Failed Installation aborted, Result=1603"

Can you try downloading and installing it directly from the link below as a workaround?

Wellcome to the community:)

Will request you to download the software from virtual agent, show below, & then install again. This will definitly have no issuses.

The issue is your Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. 

Your product is failing to install because the prerequiste program required by the installer is failing prior to the installation of your Autodesk software.

If the prerequisite program already exists on your computer, it is likely newer than the one the Autodesk installer is attempting to install. Please uninstall the prerequisite program causing the issue and run your installer again.

For more information about this process, please see my KB link here:

If the prerequisite is not already installed and installation still fails, then you may need to make an advanced edit to the setup.ini file to ignore the error. Please make sure you manually install the prerequisite file from Microsoft and then modify the setup.ini file accordingly.
