Installation & Licensing

[#1]

I've tried just about everything I could find on the internet for a solution to this and still no luck. (Including deleting temp, registry fix, updates, .NET Framework checking, and others).

Hi,

Please refer to the following post from the Windows Seven Forums regarding a similar issue when installing the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package:

http://www.sevenforums.com/performance-maintenance/40511-set-registry-size-limit-unlimited-2.html

The posting indicates that the following steps will resolve the issue:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control
Key: RegistrySizeLimit
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0xffffff (4294967295)

Reboot

As a Administrator open a Command Prompt and run "SFC /SCANNOW". The command should complete successfully and if any errors were found, they should be corrected.

It is always strongly recommended to fully back up the registry prior to making any modifications.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Alison

Any chance you could give me some steps to perform this?

I did what I thought would be correct. 

- Backed up the registry

- went to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control

-created key RegistrySizeLimit

-set type to REG_DWORD

-set vaulue to 0xffffff (4294967295)

-performed clean boot 

-attempted reinstall

xx Failed with the same error message at the same point

[#4]

Also, I checked for errors as you mentioned (forgot to include that in the last post)

[#5]

here is a screenshot of my attempt at a registry edit

[#6]

Just uninstall your Visual C++ and run the installer again.

[#7]

Travis, I removed Visual C++ as you stated then attempted a reinstall. No luck. So i removed more (because well... why not) after restarting and having attempted another isntall. 

The only thing that changed was now Autodesk Design Review installed, but still no inventor.

You have admin rights?  UAC off?  Antivirus disabled?  Media or download install? 

[#9]

Admin Rights - check (even used install as admin during setup just to rule it out)

UAC - off

Microsoft Security Essentials - off

No other anti virus has ever been installed or used, I just freeze my C:

It's the download install - here is some log file. Thanks for your help as well

So looking at the logs, I actually paid attention and noticed that the error occured when installing file at path 

C:\Autodesk\Autodesk_Inventor_2012_English_Win_64bit\3rdParty\x64\wmf\95\wmfdist64.exe /quiet

which is microsoft windows media something or other 9.5? So i found that path, attempted a manual install, but i get error message "not enough storage is available to process this command" I assume this is where the real issue lies but again, I have no idea what to do /:
