Hi there, I am attempting to install Inventor and Electrical 2015 on my computer - the basic Autodesk Inventor software installs fine but when it comes to installing the additional components, the install program attempts to create a new folder on the network's user directory which is protected - this then prevents the installation getting any further and leaves me without most of the things I actually need (Error 1317).
I've been through the help files and install program but cannot see anywhere that I can alter the installation path for the other components - is there a workaround for this at all?
Even booting the computer disconnected from the network and attempting installation does not fix the issue.
Our programs write date to the user profile space. The program needs access to this space and it sounds like it is limited for you. If you elevate your user privileges to administrator, it hopefully would let you write to the space. After this you may be able to remove the privs and still run.
There is no alteration available in the program.
Thank you for taking part in our community!
Thanks for your feedback - unfortunately the IT department were unable to grant me permission to write to the correct network drive and I am still getting the same error on installation (I already have admin rights to the computer I use).
I am about to attempt to install the programs in network disabled safe mode in the hope that it will pick up the local users\home directory rather than the network users\home directory during the install.
It is quite frustrating as a colleague installed the same software without issue and I am not sure what is different as to how our computers are set up!
Would you have any suggestions for getting the install software to install to the local home directory rather than the network drive?
Installing in safe mode didn't work, but I did manage to get around the installation problems by creating a local admin account on the computer and installing the software using that, with it being available for all users.
As far as I can tell from loading the program, Autodesk Electrical seems to be working fine on my main user account.
However, Inventor has a number of graphical glitches (which are new!) and an error message when starting a new part (which is the same error I was getting when I could only partially install the program previously):
As far as I can see, there is an "R2015" file in the folder for the new admin account that I created, and I am pretty sure when I uninstalled inventor I removed all of the components so I am not 100% sure why it is still trying to look in a network location for a file that was installed locally!
Any help on the new issues would be appreciated.
We us redirects (roaming profiles), and people are not admins on the systems.
It seemes the appdata is not going to the complete folder location (stops two folders short).
Do you know what structure I may need to create to get beyond this error:
appdata redirect Strucure = "\\server\state\city\building\username\application data" (stops at building)
Is it limited to 24 characters on the redirected name (server share location), that is where it seems to stop?
