If a previous attempt to install or uninstall an Autodesk® product failed and now you are
unable to install or reinstall an Autodesk product on the system, it is strongly recommended
that you clean your system by uninstalling all Autodesk products and supporting applications
(add-ins, utilities, enablers, etc.) before attempting to reinstall the software.

1. Open the Control Panel.The process may be different, depending on your Windows
version.
2. Select Uninstall a program (Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10) or
Add or Remove Programs (Windows XP).
3. Uninstall peripheral applications from smallest to largest. Select a program and click
Uninstall/Change.
Example: Before you uninstall 3DS Max Design, you should first uninstall the FBX add-in
for 3DS Max Design and any other related add-ins. This also applies to modules such as
the VBA enabler, Subscription Advantage packs, and Autodesk material libraries.
Note about Material Libraries: These libraries are shared across all Autodesk products and
should not be removed unless you are removing all Autodesk products from the system.
Uninstall from largest to smallest. Uninstall the medium resolution image library followed
by the base resolution image library and then the Autodesk material library.
4. After add-in applications are uninstalled, select the main product to be uninstalled.
