Where to find the Reference Repair Utility ?

[SBix26]

Looks to me as if this is a Vault question-- perhaps try the Vault forum?

You have to install SP1 for Vault 2013, or SP2 for 2012.

Then, on the client computer, you'll find it here:

Windows Start Menu > All programs > Autodesk > Autodesk Data Management > Tools > Autodesk Reference Repair Utility

Apparently I have lost my mind, I'm running Vault Pro 2016 on Windows 8.1, I cannot find the "Reference repair utility" on this system anywhere. Does it exist for 2016, does it require a server Op-sys, SP1 or something. I used it in the past, but have completely forgot where it is located.

Thanks in Advance...

Hi Mike,

You're right it does not seam to be in the Win 8.1 Applications any more...

However, you can browse to the exe, from my experience it still works.

The exe is in the Vault Explorer folder, in my case it is

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Vault <flavour> 2016\Explorer

Search for "ReferenceRepairUtility.exe"

FYI, the Reference Repair Utility executable seems to be gone, from the 2018 release anyway.

It may be because "update file references" is a Vault command now.
