Autocad installation error

[Anonymous]

Im having trouble installing autocad. I've tried downloading from AVA. Windows 7 is a fresh install.

Installation ends when direct X runtime starts installing. 

I've uploaded the installation temp file

Hello @Anonymous, 

Welcome. 

Based on the log it is failing on the AutoCAD core product with a 1603 error. This is a generic error that can happen for several reasons. 

Please try to uninstall & reinstall by following the steps below: 

1. Make sure your new Windows 7 has the SP1 update applied & verify the Windows 7 OS is fully functioning (you may need to reinstall the OS)
2. Conduct a Clean Uninstall of the previous installation attempts & use the MSfixitTool to complete it
3. Reboot the computer & log in as Administrator 
4. Clean out the TEMP folder. To open the TEMP folder, type %TEMP% in the address bar of Windows Start Menu and hit Enter (Windows)
5. Temporarily disable security settings like Antivirus, Firewall & UAC on your Windows operating system
6. Use the Browser Download Method in your Autodesk Account or via the AVA | Autodesk Virtual Agent (download all the parts)

Let us know how it turns out.
