Solution-01 – Check and correct user permissions of the Autodesk product Installation folder.

• Open the folder in which you are installing your Autodesk product. (Normally the default folder is Autodesk and you can find it in Local Disk C:\Program Files\).
• Right-click on the Autodesk folder and click on properties.
• Click on the Security tab and then on Edit.
• Click on Add and then Advance.
• Click on Find Now, search for user Everyone, select it and click on OK.
• Click on OK again to add it in the Group or user names: list.
• Select the user name Everyone, tick the Full control Allow option in Permissions for Everyone and click on OK.
• Try to install the Autodesk product.
• If this solution does not solve the error, try solution 02.

Solution-02 – Try and shorten the file path length of the folder from which you are installing the Autodesk product

Check the path of the Autodesk product installation package or software. In my case, AutoCAD 2013 is the product I want to install and the setup file is in the Downloads folder and its path is given below.

C:\Users\user\Downloads\Software\Autodesk_AutoCAD\Autodesk_AutoCAD_2013\madaboutconstruction.com\Autodesk_AutoCAD_2013_x64\Autodesk_AutoCAD_2013_x64\Autodesk_AutoCAD_2013_x64\Autodesk_AutoCAD_2013_x64\Autodesk_AutoCAD_2013_x64\Autodesk_AutoCAD_2013_x64\Setup

Here you can see the main setup file is in the folder Autodesk_AutoCAD_2013_x64 and its path is too long. So in this case you can copy that whole folder containing the setup file and paste it in C:\Autodesk and try to install your Autodesk product.

If solution 02 does not work, try solution 03.

Solution-03 – Redownload the latest installation package of your Autodesk Software

If Solution-01 and 02 do not work, it means your Autodesk software is corrupt, you can redownload from the Autodesk site and try to reinstall it. If you face a similar problem, then it is due to an improperly installed operating system or you do not have sufficient rights on that particular computer to install that Autodesk program.
