You need to have at least one of the supported Visual Studios to install the DeveloperTools.msi. Usually you can find the SDK readme(for example: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2016\SDK\SDK_Readme.htm) in the SDK folder, and it lists the supported VS versions, you should install at least one of them before installing the DeveloperTools.msi. The DeveloperTools.msi will install the Inventor Addin Wizards for the VS, if there is no VS on the machine the DeveloperTools could not find the proper folder to place the Inventor Addin Wizards files. So that is why we ask users to install at least one of the supported VS. Hope this clears.
