AutoCAD self extract is not running.

Greetings.

 

Im trying to install AutoCAD 2018 on my PC (Windows 10, x64, Net Framework 4.6.1, etc...)

I have already tried to deactivate Windows Defender to install the program

 

I can't run AutoCAD Self Extract.

 

It opens, however the app suddenly closes without filling anything of the progress bar

 

I have already tried to solve this issue seeking information at "google". 

 

Please, if anyone knows how to solve this it would be great.

 

Thanks

Gian

  • 2017 and earlier products use a different certificate that Windows 7 already containsโ€ฏso the files will extract successfully.  

How to Verify if you have the issue on your machine

  • Click 'Start' and type certmgr.msc in the Search Programs and Files field and hit Enter.

  • Expand Certificates and expand Trusted Root Certification Authorities item 

  • Select 'Certificates' 

  • Look for VeriSign Universal Root Certification Authority

  • If the certificate is available there and is valid, the file extraction and product installation will complete successfully 

Solution 

The certificate (Root 10) can be downloaded directly from VeriSign's certificate page on their website:

Here is what helped me, just run Command Prompt as an Administrator and paste the code below.

 

regsvr32 c:\windows\SysWOW64\wintrust.dll

 

I discovered this method while solving NVIDIA GeForce Experience problem and it worked.

Just run as administrator. That's all, but why didn't they add  this automatically. That's funny.

In my case the installer was split in 6 parts so I had to rename all of them like: 

 

Revit_2021_G1_Win_64bit_dlm_001_006.sfx.exe > r_001_006.exe"

Revit_2021_G1_Win_64bit_dlm_002_006.sfx.exe > r_002_006.exe"

Revit_2021_G1_Win_64bit_dlm_003_006.sfx.exe > r_003_006.exe"

Revit_2021_G1_Win_64bit_dlm_004_006.sfx.exe > r_004_006.exe"

Revit_2021_G1_Win_64bit_dlm_005_006.sfx.exe > r_005_006.exe"

Revit_2021_G1_Win_64bit_dlm_006_006.sfx.exe > r_006_006.exe"

 

then double click the first part to extract the others.

AutoCAD_2022_English_Win_64bit_dlm.sfx.exe.  Tried all the above suggestions: used d:\, renamed, etc.  Nothing works on two separate computers (W10).  Downloaded the file from AutoDesk three times..all fail.

Suggestions?

Hi!

here is how I solรถved this issue:
_ make sure your OS is updated to latest available version

- make sure you have a Admin account & Read/Write rights

- RMC the file/Run as Administrator

- after extracting, move the folder in question to C:\Autodesk

This is valid for ANY Autodesk !

Hope this helps others!

You're not downloading all parts of the software needed. 

 

Likely a popup blocker is causing it.
