Autodesk Inventor Proffesional VBA7 error

[maxthorpe]

I have seen the solution to the VBA7 problem in the link below but I do not know how to implement it, what is inventor source media?

Welcome to the forum!

By "source media" they mean the items used to install inventor, so that's either the downloaded product files or the USB drive if you requested one.

I still don't understand what to do. by download product files do you mean the files on my computer related to Autodesk inventor? Am I supposed to download a VBA7 file to replace the one Office deleted?

I meant the files you used to install inventor with. (containing the setup.exe)

The files you need are there in the path described on the support page you found.

I've made a quick video using my USB media and selecting the 64 bit folder.

If you need the 32 bit version, go to the x86 subfolder instead.

I have similar problem although in my situation, it's because I don't even have that "3rdParty" folder you mention and show in your video. I started with the trial version, I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I guess I may need to ask for a USB version? Otherwise, do you know where I can just download that VBA7 file or can you email it to me?

Welcome to the forum!
Can you give a bit more information?
Which trial version?

The 2014 Professional Version, I now am an A&P student, so I was able to get the 36 month license.  I entered the Serial Number and Product Key, updated it, and downloaded the tools.  Let me show you what I see when I pull up the folder:

It's similar to what I see in other's but absolutely no 3rdPart Folder.  In fact, if I look in the search bar of the start menu, I don't have VBA7 at all, I found a couple other versions of VBA but neither of them solve the issue:

Hmm, i'm not sure why you don't have the folder... maybe the student version (?) doesn't have it.

Anyway, send me a PM with your email and the version you need (32 or 64bit) and i'll send you the file(s).

EDIT

Autodesk has updated the KB article, you can now download the files there

I have the same problem with the VBA failed after I install office on my PC.  I downloaded inventor product design suite premium from autodesk. I am an inventor user not a computer geek, so things have to be spelled out for me.  I do not have source media on  USB stick.  What steps do I need to do inorder to get this fixed?

Apparently the link to the KB article is no longer valid with the update to the new knowledge site.

Here is the new link.

As far as spelling it out; download the file, close inventor, install the appropriate version from the downloaded file and you should be up and running again.

I'm having the same problem here...VBA won't initiallize. I've downloaded the MSI files, installed the VBA610....files and the VBA7 files....no change in behaviour. Am I missing something??

I recently had the same issues. VBA7 seemed to uninstall / reinstall with no errors or warnings, but refused to work (did get rid of the error message, but macros or editor would still not run) until I checked the event viewer, and found some warnings about attempting to modify protected areas of the registry. So then I figured I would start and administrator command prompt, and just execute the MSI file (I used the one ending in 1033 for english) in that. Got alot more success info in the event viewer and it worked like a charm!
