Go to the control panel. Then depending on the windows version go to where you uninstall programs. Select inventor and click uninstall. It will then come up with the option to repair or uninstall. This is just from memory so it may be a little different.
Let me know if this is actually what you are after.

I have tried doing that but it just comes up with: Error, This instalation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator #1

I'm using a school computer so that could be the problem. Any other ways to repair inventor?

Maybe try by right clicking the inventor file in the uninstall window and select run as administrator. You will probably need the password though.

Can you mark this one as solved so others know it is no longer an open issue. Thanks
