Installation & Licensing

[#1]

First I had Inventor 2012 installl and it worked fine, all up till now and the splash screen started and then the program did not run.

I tried all the "fixes" and nothing worked so I uninstalled it to try and re-install to which I kep getting errors and then I decided that I would try and download the 2013 version as that shouldnt have any problems.

Much to my dismay the entire thing is just messed up, for an expensive program it breaks so easily and your installer is so broken. PC game installers are smart enough to know when VC++ is already installed and skip it, big joke that Autodesk is incapable of doing it. Thankfull I am using a student license and this isnt costing me anything.

here is my logfile from Inventor 2013

Dpt90,

Hello. Your issue could be a result of a few things. When you say you “tried all the fixes” – I have absolutely no idea what you mean. So I expect I may be repeating some of what you may have already tried.

You should uninstall the program through the Control Panel.

After this, run the MS Fixit uninstaller and see if the product still lists. If it does, uninstall it.

http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall\

Next, delete the Inventor program folders in these locations (they should be clearly named).

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\

C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\

C:\Users\All Users\Autodesk\

C:\Users\**YOUR USERID**\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\

C:\Users\**YOUR USERID**\AppData\Local\Autodesk\

After these are deleted, I would remove your C++ redistributables and remove your NET entries. Then reinstall as an admin with UAC and antivirus turned off and retest.
