Install Error 8

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to install Autocad Architecture (via the free trial first) and once I begin installation, after a few seconds, it aborts and says "error 8." Any idea what to do?

Anyone having install error 8 issues...

Download and install per:

1. Access the Autodesk Virtual Agent (link is in my signature) and follow the download links to your product.
2. Download all of the parts (some applications only have a single part to download) for your product first. Do not continue until all of the parts have fully downloaded.
3. Navigate to your download folder location and extract (double click) part _001_00X.sfx.exe (or the single file download).
4. In a few seconds the extraction will start and prompt you to extract to C:\Autodesk.
5. Once the extraction is finished, the installation will automatically start.
6. Follow the installation steps for your product

What's not working in the Virtual Agent...  It's very rare that someone is having issues downloading the application through the Autodesk Virtual Agent.  Can you tell us what you are having an issue with?

Have you followed these instructions?

It sounds like you are trying to extract the files before everything is downloaded. 

Step #2 in my installation instructions clearly states "Do not continue until all of the parts have fully downloaded."  Have you done that?

Based on your information you are either trying to run the extraction instead of saving (downloading) the files to your hard drive or you are running the extraction before all of the parts are downloaded.   Get all the parts downloaded first then continue on.
