I have just recently installed Navisworks Simulate 2013 on a Dell computer running Windwos 7- 64 bit operating system. I am trying to update the software to Service Pack 2. I download the installer package named "Autodesk_Navisworks_2013_Service_Pack_2_Multilingual_Simulate_64bit.msp" to my downloads folder and double click to install the update. I then recieve an error message titled "Windows Installer" that says "This patch package could not be opened. Contact the applicatin vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer patch package". Everything that I have done is the same as what is recomended in the Read Me File.
Thank-you in advance for any help

Maybe it is a corrupted download?
Thank you for your reply
I suspect that based on the date of your build, your installer was already SP2. Autodesk often releases their installations with the service packs already included. SP2 came out in August of 2012, so based on the fact that your release is September, I would imagine this is why you are unable to install your update.
Travis is correct. The version 10.2.0.91043 is the build for NS SP2. You can check that in the Control Panel - Programs and Features - View installed updates.

OK. I See that you are correct.
It would be great if the "About Navisworks" screen would update with the information that the latest build or Service Pack has been installed to simplify answereing that question. As I remember that information used to be always shown in that location, at least for other autocad software.
Thank-you
