Which version of AutoCAD are you trying to install? If it's within the recent versions, you can re-download it from Virtual Agent (click on Download Links, choose product and version). Then try the installation again. Hope it helps.
Welcome to the community
Your installation is failing due to the method (web installer) you're using. This method is unreliable and shouldn't be used.
As @lynn_zhang pointed out use the Autodesk Virtual or
Download and install per:
1. Access the Autodesk Virtual Agent 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
If you want the full recommended installation steps, click on the installation link in my signature.
However if the installation does fail using this method, please post your installation log file here so we can review it. Posting info: Sometimes installation log files contain personal information such as your serial #. Prior to posting your log file please make sure to remove such info.
Good luck on your installation and report back on your progress.
