Here I will show you how to fix the error if AutoCAD is already installed even though there is no AutoCAD on your computer. This error can appears during AutoCAD installation.

Reason for the Error – AutoCAD is already “Installed.”

When you install the AutoCAD and see the message that AutoCAD is already installed on your computer or installation gets complete, all the products flagged with green colour as installed as shown in the below image and the install button becomes grey unclickable. Still, when you check your computer, you do not find AutoCAD.

It means you have not removed all the traces or registries of your previous AutoCAD installations. So, your computer system identified this program as already installed. This situation does not allow you to proceed with a fresh installation, neither you can use that particular Autodesk product. I mean this problem you can face for any Autodesk product.
