Autodesk Building Design Suite Premium 2018 Download Failed Unknown Error
I have been waiting to install the latest Autodesk 2013 software because I wanted to install the Suite. The stand solitary 2013 products have been out for a few weeks but the Suites (at to the lowest degree the Building Design Suite that I was interested in) only but posted on Thursday this week. I take a few comments on the experience that I would similar to share. My chief reason for preferring to install the Suite over the individual products is that it is simpler in several ways:
- Information technology is a single download (huge) but a single one only the aforementioned
- In that location is but one installer. You choose the products you lot want to install. Nice.
- You only have to authorize Once. Very prissy.
But alas, at that place is e'er a downside. And then here were some problems that I ran into:
- The download is IMMENSE. 25 GIGs (vii DVDs if you burned it, it was a 7-function annal). Unzipped is over twice this size 66 GIGs!!! Better accept a spare hard drive handy to dorsum it up. (I downloaded the Ultimate Suite, so I presume the other "flavors" would be smaller, but probably non much).
- The download is 32 and 64 bit together. Information technology could be just one or the other and therefore one-half the size. The 2012 suite, I was able to download just the 64 flake. Maybe this is coming later?
- During the download, I had some of the parts neglect. I had to resort to downloading them ane or two at a time and babysit. Took several hours. This was kind of annoying, though non unexpected.
- I downloaded it to the second hard drive on my primary organization (my D drive). Surprisingly, when I copied it to an external Hard disk for backup, it took about four hours! I know that USB can be irksome, but please. 4 hours seems excessive. Thank you Windows…
Once finally downloaded, I could brainstorm the install. The waiting is not over. When you first double-click that EXE to "install" what you lot are actually doing is unzipping. This takes ANOTHER couple hours. (The offset time failed, considering as i noted above, I had to re-download a few of the archives, never very fun). But when I had everything downloaded, and fired information technology up, well, the progress bar started and and so I hit the commencement snag:
A bunch of Blood-red error messages started to appear. Problems well-nigh QTO and some of its files… At kickoff I watched and wonder how this would bear on me, just and so decided to abolish and investigate. As y'all may know, when you unzip the archive, it suggests your C drive in a folder chosen Autodesk. I usually only change this to D:\Autodesk and leave the rest of the path alone. This time, I was using a folder called _Autodesk Software. This is because I had a few other folders starting with "A" and I recentely renamed my Autodesk binder to ensure that it was starting time on the list. No issues with BDS 2012 when I did this. Simply I suspected that due to the length of the path in the red mistake message above that I was striking some sort of file name limit. So, I moved the older back toD:\Autodesk and tried once again. This fourth dimension it worked! no errors.
Proud of my cleverness, I let the install continue. Well, the progress bar chugged along for quite a long time and just when it was at the end… it reset itself to the beginning! WTF? Well, retrieve that bulletin surface area of the unzip dialog that showed the red error messages for QTO to a higher place? Well upon further inspection I noted that information technology had just completed part 1 of the annal. Information technology was at present on to annal two. <sigh> there are six more parts…
One thing I forgot to mention is that the evening before, when I was downloading, I changed the ability settings on my arrangement so that it would not go to sleep and cancel the download. Aught more than frustrating than that. Then I left my settings set this way during the unzip too. Trouble is, I had leave for a client meeting and it was but half done. Now, I should take known better than to start this before an appointment. My original program was to unzip the annal, and so cancel and when I came dorsum afterward, it would be set up to go. I had over an hour before the meeting, so THEORETICALLY information technology should take been fine… Famous last words…
Well, I had already invested this much fourth dimension, I did not want to start over. So I just grabbed my automobile and took information technology with me in the machine and permit it continue unzipping during my hour commute. I still had the power settings prepare to not go to sleep. Surly it would exist washed past the time I arrived? Again my plan would be to only cancel, and then subsequently run the install from the unzipped folder.
Well, you know what happened next. My screen froze, I had to hard shut downwardly when I got to the client and now I was possibly going to have to unzip all once more. Well in this I got lucky. I had evidently finished unzipping BEFORE it crashed. Luck smiled on me this one time.
On to the Install!
So I went into the D:\Autodesk folder, located the Setup.exe file and fired information technology upwardly. The installer appeared, I configured all of my choices, (selected almost everything, left off a few items) and clicked install. Away it went. There was something like 59 items.
59 of 59 left to install
52 of 59 left to install
40 of 59 left to install
28 of 59 left to install
Icons were appearing on my desktop, information technology was cranking away and somewhere effectually 22 items left, an error dialog appears saying something about the installer's not beingness able to find some file needed for QTO again. OK, well permit me take a await. I manually browse to the location that information technology says in Windows Explorer and what do I find? Well there'due south the offending file. Soooo…
Now get this, there are merely 2 buttons in the dialog that has now stalled the installation. They are "Retry" and "Cancel." (kind of reminds me of a Revit warning… ouch).
Are you lot kidding me? You know what Retry did. Then feeling defeated, I click Abolish, figuring I don't Actually need QTO correct now. Only wait, it gets better. Practice you know what Abolish does? Look for information technology…
It REVERSES the Unabridged installation. That'south right, all of the 37 successfully installed programs up to this point uninstall themselves as I hopelessly watch. Bye Revit, bye AutoCAD, Bye Navis… Unbelievable.
OK, and then afterward some choice words. I try once more. This time I will only select Revit, Max Blueprint, AutoCAD Arch, MEP and a few other items. No QTO this fourth dimension. Off information technology goes again. Subsequently getting much further, somewhere in the teens this fourth dimension, maybe 15 of Xx left, it displays the SAME type of mistake. This time on some sample project. A SAMPLE PROJECT!!! Actually???
Then, not nearly to allow it uninstall over again and feeling thoroughly frustrated, I click cancel and then impale my motorcar. I figured, well, if I hard close downwardly (extreme I know) it won't be able to uninstall all the programs. Perhaps not the nearly idea out plan, but hey, I was frustrated.
After re-starting my automobile, I tested each program. Revit worked, AutoCAD Arch worked, Max Design, Inventor, they all worked.
AutoCAD MEP… totally hosed. (Couldn't get that lucky could I?)
The Existent issue
OK, well, what about the other programs that did not install? I still did not have QTO, Design Review, Infrastructure Modeler and a few other misc items. So, I tried to install just one at a time. Design Review, no problem. The others not and then much. Then it dawned on me. Those errors I got all looked similar.
The effect is the length of the file and binder names. When I downloaded Edifice Design Suite 2012, the binder of the unzipped file was named:Autodesk_BDS_Ultimate_2012_English_Win_64bit. This time, the binder was named:Autodesk_Building_Design_Suite_Ultimate_2013_English_Win_32-64bit.
Much longer because they wrote out "Building Blueprint Suite" and because it includes the extra 32 bit descriptor in there. I renamed this folder to change the Building_Design_Suite part to just BDS and voila! All products install without fail!
After all of that grief. Information technology is the length of the stinking folder names that acquired the trouble. This is really something that should have been tested Autodesk. A few years agone I had a similarly bad experience trying to get my Adobe CS to install. I contacted their tech back up and they were no help. Cipher sours the initial experience of a new (and expensive) piece of software similar not being able to quickly and easily install it. I am not blaming anyone for the fourth dimension it takes to download, information technology is what it is. But folder proper noun lengths are something that tin Easily be tested for and adjusted.
Good grief. Anyhow, I promise that this L O Due north G post helps someone out there.
Then hither is a summary of what you desire to do:
- Download the athenaeum.
- Run the installer and accept the default location (you can modify drives if y'all like)
- When the actual installer appears, cancel it.
- Scan to the location of the installed binder and rename information technology to something shorter.
- Double-click the Setup.exe file in the now shortened binder.
- Sit back and wait for it to finish.
Expert luck!
