You said "any help", so here goes:

Google found "Error 1316: The specified account already exists" here:
https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-general-discussion/can-not-uninstall-inventor-2015/td-p/5392701

Note the last post where the user mentions he used the Microsoft Fix It
tool (which I've also seen suggested on the Maya beta list):

Microsoft Fix It tool

And this too mentions the Fix It tool:

good luck...
