I've been using Autodesk's AutoCAD and other Autodesk programs on Windows 7 for quite some time. They're great programs, especially with them being free for education.

So naturally I wanted to use them in Windows 8. Unfortunately, the installer didn't work, failing to install every time I tried.

Here's the error: enter image description here

Is it possible to install these on Windows 8 Consumer Preview or should I just boot into Windows 7?

P.S. Please do not tell me that I'm using pre-release software. I know. I'm the kind of person that likes to get into the new stuff. I don't care if it eats my dog and microwaves my grandmother as long as I can try out new stuff.

open the file "setup.ini" and remove all "dotnet" references in the "prerequisites" line.

autocad will crash after "quit" command but works.
