AutoDesk Fails to Install as a result of .NET Framework 4 or 4.5

AutoDesk Fails to Install as a result of .NET Framework 4 or 4.5

You are are installing...

• AutoCAD 2014 non English version
• Using Windows 8 operating system

You will get a .NET 4 and a .NET 4.5 Language Pack error when installing the product.
The following workaround that will help resolve this issue:
1. Copy the Media contents to a local drive or use a browser downloaded version of software.
2. Copy and backup the setup.ini file and call it:  setup-BACKUP.ini.
3. Open file setup.ini from the root folder using a text editor.
4 .Search for (without quotes) “[DOTNET4LANG]” and “[DOTNET45LANG]”
5. Add a new line “IGNORE_FAILURE=YES” for them if found. This line can be added anywhere below “EXE_PARAM=”

Basically, in the Administrative Deployment Package INI file there are several options that you can configure.

PREREQUISITE=<REMOVE DOTNET REFERENCES>
POSTREQUISITE=<REMOVE DOTNET REFERENCES>
'This will remove any attempts to install the DOTNET package to the systems.

In the "DOTNET BEGIN" section, set the value to IGNORE_FAILURE=YES to continue the installation if the product fails to install.

IGNORE_FAILURE=YES
'This should tell the Autodesk package ignore if it fails to install and continue with the installation. This could be used for the .NET framework or the Visual C++ run-time components that are required with AutoDesk products.

In the "VCDIST BEGIN" section the value IGNORE_ERROR=5100 tells it to ignore if a "newer version of the product is installed"
