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.
I am having the exact same problem and i am also a student; any help would be greatly appriciated as i am currently working on a project with a deadline in May.
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,
