Download Now method of installation is not working

September 18, 2025 Ken Williams

Issue:

The Download Now method of installation from your Autodesk account is not working correctly because the Download Manager is not installing. Where can I download the Autodesk Download Manager installer?

Solution:

This issue could be caused by browser security or a firewall server in your network.

Download the Autodesk Download Manager here: Autodesk Download Manager

NOTE: Some web browsers may change the file extension (Google Chrome may replace .exe with .zip, IE may replace it with some numbers), so after downloading the Autodesk Download Manager installer, make sure the file extension is .exe. If the file extension is not .exe, right-click on the file, select to rename the file and change the file extension to .exe and double-click on it to install.
