Installing 3DS Max from Install Now

[Anonymous]

I was 3.84 GB/6.61 GB, 8 of 18 remaining, when it stopped working and said, "503 days 9 hours remaining." I clicked on "Pause Download," and it went grey and didn't do anything. I went to "Installation Help," "Readme," but those did nothing. I canceled. Went to restart, downloaded another Install Now, but both the original and the new one say "Aborted.(Error:8)" So where did 4 GB go? Any idea how can I restart the install from the same place, or fresh, again? Should I choose another method of download? (Sorry, for English -- the forms page won't switch.)

Hello neil.edelman and welcome to the Autodesk community!

It looks like you're receiving Error 8 during installation. This is typically due to he download manager getting disconnected. The following article(s) should help you resolve the problem:

Good call! I just waited until morning and the Installer worked again.
