You want your customers editing your MSI install files? Why should we have to do this?Īnyway, whenever there are Autodesk install problems that can’t be solved by normal means, I turn to TravisNave from the Autodesk forums, who once again provided the real solution, which is to start the installer, then use a CMD window to kill “explorer.exe” yourself and not wait on the installer to try and do it. If you read the first link above, it suggests editing the MSI file. It was at this point that the install failed. I click OK again, despite the fact that the first dialog killed “explorer.exe”.

I clicked OK to allow it to end the “explorer.exe” task, which it did, but then after 20 seconds or so later, this same dialog appeared. I had the silent install mode disabled for debugging purposes. Interestingly enough, the install in question (Civil 3D 2020) was generating the following dialog box. Return value 3.Īction ended 6:27:26: INSTALL.
