Email with hotfix for inventor has no password.

 

Hello,

 

I have just downloaded the student version of autodesk inventor and have run into the hotfix issue; I am using windows vista home premium 32 bit. I followed the procedure of going to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971138 and chose the first option (x86) and then opened the email that followed, however, the email did not contain a password at all: 

 

Password:

Password changes on:

Next password:

 

Elsewhere there was a note that states "NOTE If the password does not exist or the password is blank in this mail, then the fix can be extracted without any password.". However, when I follow the link to the hotfix it takes me to a dark screen with a popup stating "The server hotfixv4.microsoft.com:80 requires a username and password".

 

Now, hopefully you can see my issue. No username or password is given in the email but it won’t let me get to the hotfix without one. 

 

If anyone has got any ideas I would be so happy! 

 

Thanks in advance

 

Steve

This is what I got in the email from Microsoft:

Language: All (Global)

Platform: x64

Location: (http://hotfixv4.microsoft.com/Windows%20Vista/sp3/Fix261357/6000/free/381496_intl_x64_zip.exe)

Password: dgB9F9p$Wq

Password Changes On:

I would also request the it again if necessary.  Thanks Travis for extracting it for the end user.

Like Darren said, it has been listed multiple times.  But in case you need it directly again, here is the direct link from Microsoft for 64-bit sans password:

 

http://hotfixv4.microsoft.com/Windows%20Vista/sp3/Fix261357/6000/free/381496_intl_x64_zip.exe

 

The 32-bit version is attached to my post above.

Inventor fusion 2012 Installation issue, kb971138 hotfix not for my computer!! This is what I get after i downloaded Inventor 2012, because I have the Vista home premium x86 32 bit sp2 I dont know what else to do. I searched my comp for the .dll file that was in the hotfix and I already have it installed from years ago. I know that this is a 2012vproduct, but I still run vista. I even downloaded and tried to install it from http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Installation-Licensing/Email-with-hotfix-for-inventor-has-no-password/... and still says that the fix is not for my comp!
