VBA Editor Won't Launch

TCARPENTER21 — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 12:44:24 GMT

So Inventor2023 starting showing this window, without even running. I guess it was just an update going in:

However, I can launch Inventor with no issues, but the pop-up comes back. So when I try to access the VBA Editor, all I get is this window popping up?

How do I fix this?

Hi @TCARPENTER21,

I know that Inventor verisons greater than 2021 does not come with the VBA module installed.

See this thread : "Inventor is not able to detect VBA on your system..." while opening Inventor (autodesk.com)

I guess the pop up is the VBA installer as explained in the thread.

Kind regards,

FINET L.

Thanks for the reply, but I've been using vba on 2023 for quite a while. This just popped up, I'm guessing some background update broke something, I'm just not sure what. If I get a chance later, I'll try a re-install - not sure what else to check.

Thanks

So an uninstall and reinstall didn't fix my issue. Elsewhere, and I can't find the link now, someone downloaded the VBA installers, and had to run the exe, (not the MSI) as an administrator - this worked for me. Still not sure what broke it, but that fixed it.
