VBA failed to initialize...

Hello,

after installing Excel 2013 I can not open anything in Inventor.

"VBA failed to initialize... Please restart inventor"

I uninstalled Excel.

I re-installed Inventor.

I reinstalled vba6.msi.

Still running in this error!

 

System: Win 8 - Inventor 2014 - Excel 2013

 

Any Help?

 

Christoph

Hi and welcome to the forum!

 

Did you install Inventor before installing Excel?

 

I'm not 100% certain, but I think you should install Excel first, then install Inventor.  (The 2014 system requirements (click here) indicate Excel as a pre-requisite, so I infer that it should be installed prior to Inventor).

 

Try that first.  If it still doesn't work, post back.

Hi,

Please try this TS article.

(Please note that it's VBA7.msi, not VBA6.msi)

This worked for VBA7 and Inventor 2014.

Hi,

 

I recieved the error message VBA failed to intialize and went into the VBA7 file and there was no VBA7.msi file for my version of Inventor only VBA7. I tried to uninstall and got message that product had to be installed. Can you explain what that means?
