Cannot open Inventor 2014

I am a student and Ive installed and uninstalled Inventor professional 2014 6 times, it wont open saying the application failed to start (0xc0000142). I have not registered the product because I dont know how. I was never given the option during installation. I did find myself at a registration page at one point and my serial number was invalid. Just recently i was able to successfully open and run Architecture 2014 with the same serial number. I dont understand what I need to do. Are there corrupt inventor files on my computer, if so, how do i remove them.

Hi Jaren,

 

Welcome to the Community. Were you installing Autodesk Inventor Professional 2014 on Windows 8.1? If that is the case, you'll need to install Inventor Professional 2014 Service Pack 1 to resolve this. For more information on this issue, kindly check out this article on "Inventor unexpectedly exits on startup on Windows 8.1".

 

Thanks,



Jeffrey Sin

Hey thanks for the reply. I recieved help from Autodesk education team. If
you are running on Windows 8.1, that would be the reason why. But it's ok,
they have been testing some software on the new windows and that's why
it won't work. They made a patch, and if you already have the software
installed, just go to this link,
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=22238097&linkID=9242018
there
you will install the SP1 (service pack 1). After that, the program should
run, if not, try uninstalling the software and then reinstall it.

-hope this helps
Jaren
