Cable and Harness Environment

[Anonymous]

When I open AIP 11, I get a warning "Failed to configure Cable & Harness environment. At first i thought it was my PC, but after a single cable and harness session, my laptop does it too. Both computers are on MS XP Pro, the laptop a Dell M70 and the PC a server class workstation.

Any thoughts? Anybody?

Did this happen right after installation of R11? Do you have R10 AIP installed on the same machine too?

Thanks for reporting this.

It happened shortly after installing R11 AIP (don't remember if it ever worked), and I have I9 on the PC, but the laptop has never had any CAD products loaded on it before.

Could you send us the following log files. They will be in the
TEMP(Enter %temp% in the Explorer address bar and hit ENTER) folder.
1.Setup.log
2.msdsetups.log

Thank you

It sounds like something is wrong with the installation or registration.
Could you check the following things?
1. Are all the necessary components installed, such as MSXML?
2. Is there any dll missing from the bin folder after installation?
3. Did you met some errors or warnings during the installation?

I attached a batch file. Please copy it to the .\Autodesk\Inventor 11\Bin\
folder and run it to register all the dlls. I am not sure whether this will
fix your problem but it's a good try.

And it would be helpful if you can give us more information. You mentioned
that in your laptop, the issue came out after "a single cable and harness
session". Could you describe what you did in the session?

Thanks,
Wei

1. I installed everything except Vault. We'll get back to that later.
2. How would I know? I ran the bat file and it still doesn't work. Should I reboot?
3. Nope. Relatively clean install.

Mahesh (below) asked for the mdsetup and setup logs. This is what I can find:

As far as the laptop goes, I did nothing more than started a command, cancelled, closed AIP, and turned the computer off.

Nice to see you are interested, though.

Dave,
Thank you for your following up, but the log file is not for Inventor setup.
Could you attach this one at:
%temp%\Autodesk Inventor 11 Setup.log which is about 30M bites?

One guess is that some operating system components are not correctly
installed or registered.
Are your two machines using the same operating system? What is it? How's its
configuration?
If it's windows, could you browse to OS Root drive:\WINDOWS\system32 and get
msxml4.dll registered?
The steps are:
1. Type in "cmd" in Run dialog from windows start menu;
2. Browse to OS Root drive:\WINDOWS\system32;
3. Type in "regsvr32 msxml4.dll"

Let me know if there is still problems.
Thanks.

Dave,
I just noticed the log file name would depend on your installation flavor,
but the size is about tens of MB.
The name could be AIP11Install.log for AIP Full flavor, AIPRS11Install.log
for Routed System, AIPSIM11Install.log for Simulation System.
Sorry for any confusion caused.

Thanks.
