Per my son's Instructors recommendation, we are trying to load Inventor. It has been a month since we started trying to load. First we tried Parallels on our mac. Autodesk said we needed more RAM. Last week, had phone support with Autodesk, who recommended we needed more RAM/ a new PC. So, we booted up our newly built PC. We are receiving the same error message now that we received on our Mac/Parrallel/Windows. "CRC failed in Setup\InventorUI.dll Unexpected end of archive"
Inventor version?
Computer operating system and 32 or 64 bit?
Did you download the proper version?..aka 64 bit for 64 bit OS.. 32 bit for 32 bit OS,etc...
Not familiar with that error exactly but it sounds like either the download was corrupted or you downloaded the wrong files..

The Radeon card maybe problematic with Autodesk Inventor.
Please note the following:
AMD Radeon = Consumer
AMD FirePro/Fire GL = Professional CAD/CAM/Media
Nvidia Geforce = Consumer
Nvidia Quadro = Professional CAD/CAM/Media
Problems downloading the Autodesk software and/or CRC errors may be avoided by using another web browser, or using the alternate browser download method.
For more detailed information on this process, please see the following blog post tip here:

I would recommend that you try downloading your product using the virtual assistant by following the directions here:
We disabled the Firewall and it actually loaded. Everything loaded but: " SOME PRODUCTS FAILED TO INSTALL". THe Autodesk Revit Interoperability for Inventor 2014, LIbraries, Vault, Recap loaded. BUT, Autodesk Inventor did not install. When looking at the installation log file, we found: '1603' error message. I've seen that error message somewhere on a forum. Does this indicate that I need an SP1? If so, where is that?
I believe disabling the Firewall in Windows 7 and using Google Chrome ( a different browser than what we had been using) has facilitated the successful install of a few of these items (Revit, Vault, Libraries, etc.), BUT Inventor has NOT yet installed. Thank you.
Attach your install log. It'll probably help.
