I loaded inventor 11 on my Windows 8.1 machine.
It started and contacted mama (registered itself with AutoDESK). It then ran twice more but I could not open any files (SCHEMA Failure).
Now it doesn't open at all.
Any Suggestions?
You will need to go back to using a WinXP machine or upgrade to a newer version of Inventor (I believe 2014 & 2015 are supported on Win 8.1).

If you have to use Inventor 11 then you will need to get hold of a computer that runs XP (there seem to be lots on e-bay). You could always just use it for Inventor and use the newer machine for everything else.
As DarrenP said even Inventor 2014 which is 7 years newer than Inventor 11 does not work properly on Win8.1

Yea, like that is going to happen. That's how many thousands of dollars??
Versus how much money you have already spent (time+hardware) plus how much you will spend (time) trying to force Inventor "11" (I assume you mean 2011) to run on Windows 8.1?
No he really does mean Inventor 11. There are some files posted in a different thread and they are Inventor 11 files not 2011.
