Can't install autocad

I've been trying to install a proprietary version of auto CAD in parallels and it seems to have an issue copying the file destination. I have deleted it a few times and tried to reinstall it with no luck. I'm sure that there is a simple workaround to this, but I am just not technically Savvy enough to do that. Can anybody help me with this, I'm happy to pay

 

Steps to Resolve:

1. Verify System Requirements:
   
   • Ensure the version of AutoCAD you are installing is compatible with the operating system in your Parallels virtual machine (VM).
2. Check Disk Space:
   
   • Confirm that the VM has sufficient disk space for the AutoCAD installation. Sometimes, installation fails if there isn't enough free space.
3. Run Installer as Administrator:
   
   • Right-click on the installation file and choose "Run as Administrator" to give the installer elevated permissions.
4. Check File Path:
   
   • Make sure the file path does not contain any special characters or spaces that might conflict with the installer.
   • For example, avoid paths like C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoCAD@2024 and use simple paths like C:\AutoCAD.
5. Disable Antivirus/Firewall:
   
   • Temporarily disable antivirus or firewall software in both the host and the VM. These can sometimes block installation files.
6. Check Sharing Settings in Parallels:
   
   • If you're accessing installation files from the host macOS, ensure that file sharing between the host and VM is properly configured.
   • Open Parallels > Configure > Options > Sharing and confirm that the shared folders are enabled.
7. Copy Installer Files Locally:
   
   • Instead of running the installer from a shared folder or an external drive, copy the entire installation package to a local drive within the VM and run it from there.

 

What version of AutoCAD are you installing? What version of Windows do you have?
