[#1]

I have been getting the acinetengine16 error on my computer lately.  I have traced it back to either Autocad or Inventor.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled, I have searched the NG I have done everything I can think of but to no avail.

Can anyone give me a solution to this error.  It is annoying.

Thanks

Mark,

Did you try the steps mentioned in this technical article?

Granted it is not the same error message but who knows if you can track down the location of the dll on your machine and feeding it to the registry...

Thanks for the extra info Mark.

In Inventor 2009 , the expected version of this file AcInetEngine16.dll  is 17.2.56.0.

Could it be that this file is corrupt or that you have a different version.
Can you check the version number of the file via Properties > Details ?

The file normally can be found under “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\” and  can be repaired by running a repair from the Control Panel.

Bob,

It appears that the version of the file is correct. 

I tried to copy the dll from another machine that wasn't having the error but didn't work.

How do you repair from Control Panel?

[#9]

In the Control Panel > Add or remove programs, expand the Inventor product  and hit the Change button.

That will bring up the install wizard and you should see a Repair option.

Be prepared it might take a while so maybe something to do at the end of your workday.

This too has failed.  It seems that I am looking at wiping my system clean and reinstalling everything.  I was hoping to avoid this method.

Thanks for your help.
