ANSI library install error

[jthunter2410]

I've installed Inventor 2012 with local (desktop) content libraries.

Everything installs OK except the ANSI content library which throws an install error and stops the install.

I had to uncheck the ANSI library prior to install to get everything else to install.

Occurs on both of my machines (Win7 32-bit & 64-bit).

I think the ANSI install file is corrupted.

How/where can I get the "installed" ANSI content library file that gets installed into C:\ProgramData\Inventor\Content\ ?

Welcome to the forum.

When you did this install did you do a clean uninstall of the old version?

Meaning did you completely remove the old version including the registry from the

PC?

[jthunter2410]

There was no previous version to uninstall.

More info:

I discovered that the problem file on the install media is AI2012_Inventor ANSI.idz which is a zip archive.

I tested it with 7zip which reported "Data error in AI2012_Inventor ANSI.idz. File is broken".

All the other idz files in that folder test OK with 7zip.

Is there somewhere I can download an undamaged AI2012_Inventor ANSI.idz file?

I don't know of a place, other then contacting your VAR.

But with that said, if this file is supposed to be down loaded from the DVD software upon

the install and it is bad, that means your DVD might be corrupt which leads again to contacting your VAR

to see about getting a new copy.

Is this an install from flash drive, or download?  Education version or regular commercial version?  Subscription?

[jthunter2410]

Regular commercial version, flash drive install media, no subscription.

I have the same problem but with the student version and installed by dowload
Can you send me that file too?

Sure - you should get an email with a download link in the next few minutes.
