Ok I installed 8.1 and I get an error when trying to open AI Pro '13. I have tried all service packs and still no luck. Rolling back to 8. It seems I have to reinstall 8 OS all together. Asking for media content when I try recovery. Word of advice, wait until Autodesk says it's ok to install 8.1 for all compatibility.

I am looking for the windows 8.1 patch to make the softwear i downloaded work.
Hi,
I downloaded and installed AutoCAD 2013 64bit on my Win 8.1 PC!
The Installation installed Autodesk Inventor Fusion 2013 also. This program crashes upon start.
Now I tried to download the mentioned patches, but I cannot find Inventor Fusion 2013 in your download list.
The list shows Autodesk® Inventor® 2013 and Autodesk® Inventor® Professional 2013, but I have Inventor Fusion 2013!!!!
Inventor Service Patch 1.1 or 2 are not working. The patches cannot find the program to be upgraded!! So, where are the mentioned patches, to make Inventor Fusion running on my Win 8.1 PC!!
MS compatibility center is listing the Inventor 2013 as Win 8.1 compatible, and my school is using AutoCAD 2013. It is a pity, that it is that complicated to get up and running for my studies.
Regards
Gregor
There are no plans to provide support for Fusion 2013 for win8.1. it just doesn't work !
If you really need to use Fusion 2013 then you'll have to use a different OS. If you must stick with win8.1 then the current option is to use Fusion360, or depending on what exactly you are trying to do with Fusion 2013, then Inventor may also be an option.
Thanks/Sorry,.
Chris
Hi,
thanks chris and blair for you fast response!!
Just as an info: here is the MS link where the program is listed as compatible: MS comp. center
You should talk to MS seriously!!
Last question: is the Win 8.1 compatible inventor also available as s student lizense and is it called Inventor only (just to find the right one!!)?
Thenks a. regards

I am running win8.1, ran into program compatibility issues, unistalled inventor 2013 x 64 then reinstalled. Installed every applicable patch and a few hotfixes. Inventor fusion, program opens but I dont have a login/password so i think it is working. DWG viewer is working. Inventor Professional, tries to open but then shuts down.
If Fusion "doesnot work" then why would it work on my computer? Besides the obvious OS compatibility and the I told you so RE:dont install unless recommended, then Why does inventor still crash for my application?
I have worked off & on trying to get this working since 8.1 released and inventor started crashing and am trying to give feedback and hopefully get inventor working again.
On a side note, I do not have microsoft visual C++ installed on my computer.
Sincerely, Rick
Rick,
For Inventor 2013 you need to install the latest SP & updates for 2013. All Inventor fixes have been released. Please see the relevent support page for your version from:
For 2013 you should install Update4 for SP2 - http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/downloads/caas/downloads/content/update-4-fo...
Fusion 2013 Desktop won't work properly on win8.1; it likely won't even start. If you're getting to a logon screen then it could be that you're running Fusion360.
Thanks,
Chris
Chris,
Thanks for replying so quickly, you were right about fusion I mistakingly thought Vault Basic was fusion as it is working. I have installed the following updates,
SP 1.1 x 64
SP 2 x 64
Updates: 2, 3, and 4(cumaltive)
and hotfixes;
Entitlement: DL18753611
Unexpected Exit: DL19236676
Inventor Add in: DL19384851
I have read all the technical seervice bullitens, disabled antivirus program, restarted the computer, unistalled Fusion 2013.
I have not tried to rename registry keys and was wondering if that should be my next step as Inventor 2013 is still trying to open but then exits before it can load. I dont think there are any other zip files that are applicable as I have looked through the lists many times.
Thanks for all your help,
Sincerely, Rick
