@ChrisMitchel

could you send me the fixed files for Inventor 2012 Professional please? I need it for x64 version of windows 8.1.

many thx in advance

[ChrisMitchell01]

All Inventor fixes have been released. Please see the relevent support page for your version from:

http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/downloads#rows=10&sort=score&ADSKProductLine...

For 2012 you should install Update4 for SP2 - http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/downloads/caas/downloads/content/update-4-fo...

Thanks,
Chris

I have installed the Inventor Pro 2011 and I have the Windows 8.1 too. Everytime I open Iventor I get the same error.

What should I do?

Thank you, Daniela Alves.

Thank you for using the Search function on this user forum. Have you downloaded and installed any of the required SP's and Hotfixes for your product. http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/downloads#?ADSKContentGroup-local=Downloads&...

Hi Chris,

is there any chance to get this fixed rse.dll file, too?

I installed the SP2 and Update4 but Inventor 2012 still isn't running on Windows 8.1

Thanks

Sir,

I still get 0xc0000142 errors... it's April now

Please help

[ChrisMitchell01]

All fixes for running Inventor products (Inventor, Inventor LT, InventorView) have been released & can be downloaded from:

http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/downloads#?rows=10&sort=score

You'll likely need to install the latest SP as well an update. After installing the update there is a manual step to perform as documented from each of the Update download pages - see the command prompt steps from http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticl...

Thanks

Just got Inventor Professional 2012 running on Windows 8.1!

Here is exactly what I did for all the people encountering the same problem:

• Install Inventor 2012
• Install SP 2 ( http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autodesk-in... )
• Install Update 4 ( http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/downloads/caas/downloads/content/update-4-fo... )
• Install the following Hotfix: http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/downloads/caas/downloads/content/hotfix-inve...
• Perform the steps shown in this instruction: http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticl...

Cheers,

Simon

Hey Chris, how can I apply this fix to Inventor OEM 2013? So far Autodesk has refused to provide *any* service packs or update packages for it. Thanks.

Matt

[ChrisMitchell01]

Matt,

Unfortunately you can't apply this to OEM. If you send me an email to chris.mitchell@autodesk.com I'll send you the affected file, but since that has build dependencies on other updates that were not released for OEM, I doubt it will work, but it's worth a try.

I've asked what's involved in getting a proper OEM version.

Thanks

Chris

Chris,

I need to use Inventor 2014 to finish a project at school. I went to the Autodesk free downloads for education and spent a day downloading Inventor 2014 Pro. I recieved the application error 0xc0000142, and then found this blog. I read the entire eleven pages, and then downloaded sp2 for Inventor 2014. I found the admin command prompt and followed the instructions in the trouble shooting guide. When I get to the last step "inventor /install >press enter", I hit enter and the application error 0xc0000142 comes up. Inventor will not open. What am I doing wrong?

I have a Dell Inspiron 3521

Intel Pentium cpu 2127U @1.90 GHz

4.00 GB ram

64-bit OS, x64 based processor

full windows touch support

windows 8.1

My windows is fully up to date.

Thank you,

Max

You were logged in with Admin Privileges and had the UAC slider set to it's lowest position when you installed Inventor and the SP?

[zaltrex8]

I have no idea what that means, but by the looks, your CPU OC seems to be a little week for the CPU you have, id consider crancking that baby up if I were you. Also A 770 classy wouldnt hurt either seeing as it is an nvidia card may aswell get a 4GB one so you can do more hardcore rendering and folding.

Hi, I'm a first time Inventor Student. I am also having this 0xc0000142 problem, I've tried the uninstall, reinstall, and even repair. All of these have not worked. 

[zaltrex8]

Hey, ive been trying to use this software aswell, unfortunately this
software doesn't work on windows 8.1 but "Apparently" they have a patch for
it that you have to opt in to get...

[ChrisMitchell01]

Inventor works on win8.1 as long as you install the latest servick packs &/or updates. Depending on which Inventor version you are using you can get the appropriate fixes from http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/downloads#?sort=score

There's no need to opt in for anything.

Inventor 2012-2014 requires an SP or update. 2015 should work without any.

I still have the same problem with this error 1 year later...

[Eqvaliser]

Same here, actually all of us just gave up on Inventor and found alternatives via the website

alternatives to ...  

And we actually got a company to use the other software, because they wanted a new system designed

with Windows 8.1 and windows 10 Tablet design in funktion where Inventor wont even run anymore..

Just here to unsubscribe from this thread, after watching this for a year without any reasonable solutions!

[ChrisMitchell01]

You need to install the latest Service pack & updates - for 2014 see http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autodesk-in...

Thanks

                 I am a Freshmen in high school, and I am taking a PLTW course where we use Inventor 2014. because I am a over achiever, straight A student, and I like Inventor. So I Downloaded the 3-year free Inventor Professional. As you could have guessed I also have Windows 8.1.

            Is there a way for me to commute my designs on the school's Windows 8 to my computer if I regester to use the Beta 8.1 version.
