Tryin to download/install ACAD 2014. Not a valid win32 application

[Anonymous]

Hi there. Due to problems with my normal working PC, I have to use another one and I'm tryin to install AutoCad 2014, for which I have a three year student license. My system runs on 32 bit. (at least I think so) When I choose to download/install the version for my system, the failure notice you see in the topic appears. How can I fix the problem??? Very urgent. Thx. Manuel

Hi @Anonymous,

Welcome  to the Community.

Could you try to download the installer once again, this time from the Virtual Agent? You can follow the instructions here on Downloading Previous Versions of Autodesk Software Using the Virtual Agent. Let us know how it goes.

Hi Jeffrey,

I solved the problem. I noticed very late, that I have to download the Installer first. I was already wondering about the short time, that was needed for the download. I'm glad, the version from 2014 is running on my (not too new) system.

Thanks a lot.
