Issue:
When installing Maya on macOS, the following message is displayed:
Installation Failed
The software could not be installed.
Causes:
Residual files left over from previous Maya installation causing new installation to fail.
Solution:
Close the installer and check in your Applications folder to see if Maya actually installed successfully.
- Try launching Maya by double clicking on the Maya icon located here: /Applications/Autodesk/Maya 201x
- Next, If there is a no Maya icon present or Maya does not launch correctly, perform a clean uninstall of ALL Autodesk products from the computer using the following steps:
- Delete /Applications/Autodesk folder
- Delete /Library/Application Support/Autodesk folder.
- Open /var/db/receipts/ folder and delete all files that start with com.autodesk, com.Autodesk and com.alias
- Delete /Library/Autodesk
- Navigate to the folder /Library/Preferences/Flexnet Publisher/FLEXnet and delete the files prefixed with adskflex.
- Delete the folder /Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Autodesk
- Delete the ~/Library/Autodesk folder
Retry the Maya installation. If it fails after performing the above steps, create in a new local admin user profile and re-install
