So i recently got a new computer at work and i went to download sketchup onto it and it wont let me. I keep getting error messages and the install stops, how do i get it on my computer?

I just tried that and i still get the same dialogue boxes and the same error box at the end of it all.

And ive never had to do that for any other program and weve installed alot of programs and this is the only one giving me issues.

There’s plenty of threads here that talk about why Run as administrator is required for proper installation. I wouldn’t have brought that up if I wasn’t trying to help you get SketchUp installed. Going back to read through the thread…Have you tried installing SketchUp 2018 Pro? You say you are inst…
