Hello corleyl

It looks like you're receiving Error 8 during installation. This is typically due to he download manager getting disconnected. The following article(s) should help you resolve the problem:

The virtual agent tells me to go to the subscription center to download CFD.  And the Broswer download method doesn't work because I don't have the "more options" button.  The blue button says "install now" not "download now".

Download Steps

1. Product download:
• Pre-2017 version: Access the Autodesk Virtual Agent and follow the download links to your product.  Certain products may not be available through the Autodesk Virtual Agent and you must access those products through your Autodesk or Student/Educational account.
• 2017 version: Download by accessing your Autodesk Account or Educational Account login.   Switch the download method to “Browser Download” and do not use the “Install Now” option.  The “Browser Download” option can be found if you select the “More Option” link under the “Install Now” button.  If the “More Option” link is not available to you, either change the platform to a given operating system or switch to all languages in order to see the “Browser Download” choice.
2. Important: Download all of the parts (some applications only have a single part to download) for your product.  If you're downloading through your Autodesk Account please pay attention in how many files need to be downloaded for your application.  Certain browses and/or your settings may not always permit all the necessary parts to be downloaded.

• If prompted, always save your files to your machine.  Do not select Run at this time.
• “Autoplay” settings for Windows 10 may launch part 1 of the download before any of the others parts have finished downloading.  In this happens to you please review RDAOU’s information as indicated here.
• If the download does fail, we suggest trying another browser (IE, Firefox, or Chrome) to perform this operation.
• Always make sure the download (of all parts) has fully completed, before continuing onto the installation steps.

How do I know all of the files I need?  I thought I had them all but the installer is telling me I don't.
