Tip: C:Autodesk folder and Install Now option + Communication Failure

A quick way to determine if your downloaded installer files are from the Install Now option is if there is a «wi» or «WI» in the name. In the example below:

• AutoCAD 2015 is using the Install Now technlogy.
• Autodesk Product Design Suite Ultimate 2014 is using the Browser Download.

The WI folder has a setup.exe in it. If you run it from there, you will get a Communication Error.

You can re-download the software as a Browser Download to solve this issue or re-run the Install Now option from the Subscription Center or Portal.

Communication Failure Error when trying to install after downloading the Autodesk package

This one catches quite a few people. When you login to the subscription site, go to the downloads and select the option to «Install now», you may receive the following error.

Download and installation has been interrupted by a lost connection between the Autodesk website and this computer. The most likely causes are:

— The installation package was moved from the installation location, which is not support.

— The Autodesk download website was closed or manually refreshed before the installer launched.

— A firewall has blocked the network ports.

Please address these issues if possible, return to the website, and then click again on Install Now, or use another download method: Download Now or Browser Download.

When you use this option it downloads that huge .exe file and extracts the files to c:autodeskanother_folder_name, then it runs setup for you. If this process is stopped or interrupted you will get that message or if you try to manually run the setup later.

This method does *not* allow you to use the setup later, only during this session.

I believe the best download method is to use the «Download Now».

• It uses the Download Manager which is far more reliable and can be paused.
• Once you extract the files you can run the setup as many times as you’d like.
• Typically it’s faster too!
• You need the original installation location to install service packs (or insert the DVD)

Once you download that huge file you can extract the install files to any location.

Note: the default is C:AutodeskFilename, where Filename is the same name as the large .exe fie you downloaded.

So to get past the Communication Failure error I’d recommend downloading it again using the «Download Now» option, download it and double click that .exe to extract all the files and it will run setup for you..

Note: you do have to download and install the Download manager before the installation begins.
