Thanks Mark,

So developers need to install a bunch of versions of VS to make sure their project is compatible with previous versions of Inventor? That sounds strange to me. Maybe I got this backwards, is Inventor backwards compatible with Visual Studio and not the other way around as I first thought? I'm not a developer myself, I just need the EventWatcher to analyze a problem and to help me create some simple scripts.
A list such as “Visual Studio Compatibility for Inventor” would help but I can't find one. The documentation in the SDK folder states what language it supports but not which version of VS. Maybe the language version number goes hand in hand with VS version number?

HOWEVER, I got it to work :winking_face:
I installed Visual Studio Express 2012, download available below.
