Inventor Pro 2017 Student Edition Installation Error 1603, 1619

[Anonymous]

I'm installing Inventor on my desktop (had 2016 on laptop no problems) but I'm having trouble installing it. I would get this in the log file: 2016/8/26:13:51:46 Kaiwen DESKTOP-D43DINM Installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86): "C:\Autodesk\WI\Autodesk Inventor 2016/8/26:13:51:55 Kaiwen DESKTOP-D43DINM Install Autodesk® Material Library 2017 Failed Download Failed, Installation aborted, Result=1603 2016/8/26:13:51:55 Kaiwen DESKTOP-D43DINM Rollback Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64) Failed Installation aborted, Result=1619 2016/8/26:13:51:55 Kaiwen DESKTOP-D43DINM Rollback Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86) Failed Installation aborted, Result=1619 I looked in the help files, and I have tried clearing TEMP, disabling firewall, closing Microsoft products, reinstalling .NET, and restarting the computer. In addition, it looks like Visual C++ 2013 (12.0.30501.0) x86 x64 was installed today in the control panel, so I'm not sure whether it actually installed or not. The desktop meets the system requirements for the software, so I don't believe compatibility is the issue. I've seen a post saying to direct download the software online, but I don't see an option for that (probably since mine is student version). Is there anything I could try to fix this? Hardware: i7-6700 3.4Ghz 16GB DDR4 Nvidia 980TI Windows 10 x64 w/ Anniversary Update

I have already followed these steps when I looked through the forums, which
is why I decided to add a new post. If there were a direct download for the
student edition, I shouldn't have any problems. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the community..

The issue is based on the method you're using..  The download is failing...

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

If you want the full recommended installation steps, click on the installation link in my signature.

Good luck on your installation.

Thank you! This was the solution. I was under the impression that the Virtual Agent was only useful for downloading earlier versions.
