AutoCAD Installation Error

[Anonymous]

Hello!

I want to test AutoCAD. The problem I am having, though, is that whenever I try to install the program it fails. 
The version I am trying to install is the 2018 one, as my computer doesn´t meet the 2019 requirements. 

I hope you can help me 🙂

This is my error code:

Hi,

please use first the browser download so you get the installation files downloaded before the installer starts, instead of the "Install Now" method (>>>details<<<).

Then make sure you have full admin permissions, you have disabled antivirus, then right click the exe (first exe of the downloads if more than one file has to be downloaded) and use option "start as administrator".

Thanks for your reply.

As I said I would like to try AutoCAD, i haven´t bought it yet and I don´t find a way to "browser download" a testversion of AutoCAD

Hello @Anonymous, 

I understand that you do not meet the requirements to run AutoCAD 2019 on your operating system, but trials of our software are only available for the latest version, trials are not available for previous versions.
