I tried to install autocad 2023 for a day now and I am always getting error 1603.

What I've tried:

1.reinstalling the program 10 times

2.Modifying the cahracter limit registor

3.Uninstalling and reinstalling the autodesk licencing serivces

4.Run the system file Checker tool

5.change the permissions

6.Change the drive.

7.Change the directories.

8.disable wifi and antivirus.

 

Autodesk 2020 installed succesfully, but I want the 2023 version. Please help. I have attached the log files obtained with the AdskODISLogCollectionTool.

Thanks in advance!

Did you try enabling default windows administrator account then signing in using that account to install?  Assuming you’re running win 10 to enable

Checking install.log I notice user 'dochi' is doing the installation. Does this user have Admin permissions?

Furthermore, if I look for '1603', it turns up about 14 times for trying to install .msi files. According to Microsoft, 1603 could be thrown for several reasons: MSI installation error 1603 - Windows Server | Microsoft Learn

Another site on trouble shooting msi files: Troubleshoot the error 1603 “Fatal Error During Installation” – msigeek

Look up error code 1603 in install.log and copy the path / file name of the mentioned msi file and try to run them one by one and see what happens....

One more question, are you using a deployment?  I might consider getting a new download and making sure you have Admin rights.
