Hello Autodesk community
I have recently tried to install Revit 2016 on Windows 10. When I first upgraded to Windows 10 there was no issues as I kept my programs from Windows 7, I ran a clean format on Windows 10 to speed up my system. When I tried to install Revit 2016 on the new clean formatted Windows 10 it was constantly failing. on the log files it kept coming up with;
Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable ATL Security Update (x64) Failed Installation aborted, Result=1603
I have tried many attempts to fix the issue such as;
- Replacing the C++ 2005 file by uninstalling it and install the one from the Microsoft website
- Clearing the %TEMP% folder and starting the installation again
- Replacing the existing C++ 2005 file and inserting the one from Microsoft into the setup file before installation
- Turning off the firewall systems and Windows Defender
- Running the install as ADMINISTRATOR (which I had done for all the attempts)
- Uninstalling all the Microsoft Visual C++ files and install them from the Microsoft website one by one
I have been on this for 3 days and have got nowhere with it, I would really appreciate any help
