I got revit 2016 (student) to install on windows 10

[Anonymous]

I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, but...

To get the installation to work I manually downloaded visual C++ 2005 and 2008, since thats what the installation was getting hung up on.

If these installs all complete, try the Autodesk product install again. If any of them fail try downloading and installing the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2:
