revit 2018 installation error 1619

[Anonymous]

I've tried to install Revit 2018 several times through different methods but but it always fails because of unknown error. From the log files I can see that Microsoft Visual C++  files fail to install and after failed installation I've uninstalled all those files and tried again but it didn't help and I even rebooted my computer but that didn't help either. What I also don't get is that in the beginning of the installation process the Microsoft Visual C++ files are installed succesfully but then at the very end of the process it tries to install them again and fails. I'm using Windows 10  on my computer. How can I fix this?

Hi @Anonymous,

We need some more information, but if you haven't tried a Browser Download & prepared your system for a download & install, you can give it a try. Download the software via the Autodesk Virtual Agent or Autodesk account using the Browser Download from the drop down. 

1. Conduct a Clean Uninstall of the program use MSfixitTool to complete the uninstall 
2. Log in as an Administrator 
3. Empty your TEMP folder. To open the TEMP folder, type %TEMP% in the address bar of Windows Start Menu and hit Enter 
4. Temporarily disable your Antivirus software & Firewall
5. Temporarily disable UAC:  Windows 7 , Windows 10 
6. Download  via the Autodesk Virtual Agent (download all 3parts)

7. Use Browser Download Method from Autodesk Account or via the Autodesk Virtual Agent (download all the parts)
