AutoCAD 2016 installation error: a DLL required for this install

Hi everyone,

 

I have a problem with the AutoCAD 2016 (education) installation. While installing it tells me a duration of around 280 days until after a while this error occurs:

 

"There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A DLL required for this installation could not be run. Contact..."

 

Moreover, when I use the download manager I get the "communication error".

 

I already downloaded the program through explorer and chrome. I did "install now" and "download now". I have a one-year-old lenovo (64bit) with windows 8.1.

 

Does anyone now what to do?

 

Thank you!!!

installing this program, as much as I see people having trouble and all the
YouTube videos that I watched you would think that this would be resolved
by now. if its not required by my instructor I'm throwing in the towel. smh

@rokeysagar

 

May I ask..  Are you trying to crack the code for AutoCAD 2016 and do something illegally?  Your image shows a crack zip 2016 file...

Can you actual share a screen shot?  You reply is really unclear..  Also why do you need a 5 year old program?
