Download the software from the Autodesk Virtual Agent

Once there, use the Download Links option to navigate to the application you need to download.

NOTE: If there are multiple parts for the download, you'll need to click each part to download them, once they are downloaded double-click Part1 (which will automatically extract the remaining parts) to begin the installation.

Hi @Anonymous,  

Welcome to the community 

I would also recommend using Virtual Agent as @Darin.Green mentioned. If that doesn't help, you could clear your TEMP folder before attempting to install it again. Here is a post from yesterday where the member had a similar problem with both AutoCAD 2016 & 2017 running on Windows 10. I mention a couple of possible step-by-step solutions which might be worth looking at if Virtual Agent alone doesn't do the trick for you.  

I hope this helps!

Hello @Anonymous,

I am sorry to hear you are having problem install your AutoCAD 2016 software. 

You can download your software via the Autodesk Virtual Agent.

Please proceed as follows: 

• Clean Uninstall of the program
• Logon as an Administrator.  
• Empty your TEMP folder.  To open the TEMP folder, type %TEMP% in the address bar of Windows Explorer and hit Enter. 
• Disable your Antivirus software. 
• Disable UAC.
