I reopen this discussion because I have a similar issue. My problem seems to be that I can't select "In Use" in the configure content center dialog box under "manage projects"
I select "in use", close the box, reopen the box and the libraries are still unselected.
As consequence I can't access any libraries of my CC. All directory paths should be right.
Any help ?
This needs to be reopened. I am installing from a network image to several school computer. I have selected desktop content and on Win7 and XP computer the content center does not work. I have re-created the image several times and read a bunch on the internet.
Seems form what I ahve read that Autodesk Inventor 2011 is plagued with CC not working.
Did you have any files open when editing the Project? If so, try with no files open, then pick Save Project

Netwok installs do not provide for Desktop Content Center, only Vault conten center. There have been a couple posts about modifying thedeployment install image, but I have been installing the Desktop content from my own separate deployment.
I'm also having this problem with Windows 7 Home (Finnish) and Inventor 2011.
Lost access to Content Center sometime during last month. No idea what did that. Tried reinstall and the files are definately there under C:/ProgramData. But the icon in Manage > Projects for CC configuration keeps being disabled.
What to do?
Autodesk: reinstalling a software of this magnitude should not be the way to come around. Don't try to suggest that.
BTW, Internet Explorer 9 seems to work badly with Autodesk Forums. I switched to another window while editing this and getting back, the cursor was first gone a *long* time. Eventually all my previous edit was lost. I will mention this to Autodesk somehow - for now if you're using IE9 don't switch windows while doing the edit. Gosh... 2011. Will IT *ever* grow up? 🙂
Addendum:
I uploaded three pictures showing the problem. In one, the CC icon is shown disabled (though the files are there and Control Panel does have "Autodesk Inventor Content Center Libraries 2011 (Desktop Content)" installed).
In another, you see what happens when trying to "Place" stuff from content library. Maybe THIS is my main problem, actually. In the dialog, "Library > Content Center" does not show the content center stuff but leads to some tutorial project's own file system (and a Content Center folder therein). Can anyone help?
At least part of the issue is that the Edit Content Center Configuration icon at the Manage > Projects dialog is disabled.
What can make it disabled, when Content Center is indeed installed. This is indicated in one of the screenshots I attached.
That item indicates Inventor 2011 SP1 is to blame. Will try uninstalling it soon.
Really, how come Autodesk quality control failed to find this before letting SP1 loose?
I have no problem running desktop or vault based content center on IV2011. SP1 should not be the issue.
Have you talked to your reseller about this?
