Inventor 2013 crashing when Migrating Styles from 2011.

[jharris]

I'm trying to migrate our styles library from Inventor 2011 to 2013 using the style library manager.  I have the current (2013) library loaded in the first slot, and my old 2011 library loaded in the second slot.  Under the 2011 library, the Migrate button is active.  

I click Migrate, and after telling me it can take up to 2 minutes to migrate the library, it proceeds.  After about two minutes, I get a progress box generated by Inventor (not the style library manager) that indicates it is copying some 1300 files from one location, to another.  I can't tell if it is the same location or not, as the filepaths are truncated in the progress box.

As it finishes, usually with one file remaining, I get the "Autodesk Inventor 2013 Has stopped working" error.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly etc. etc.

Is anyone else experiencing this?  Is there a solution?  It's quite frustrating.  I do not relish having to go back and manually define all my styles.

Context: Product Design Suite Ultimate 2013, Win 7 Pro, 12 GB ram.  I've tried both with and without my antivirus realtime scan on.

Hello,

Did you install SP2 for Inventor Profession 2013 on your machine? If not, please install it firstly and try your migration again.

I am running SP2.  I just tried again and I no longer have the Migrate Styles button highlighted -- it appears my 2011 styles have been updated.  I wonder if it had completed the migration process, but crashed at the end and just didn't set a flag somewhere.  Seems to be working now.
