VMware fusion & autodesk license on mac

[Anonymous]

I have got Windows 8 via VMware Fusion on my Mac. I can not install Inventor 2016 because I do not run 64 bit. When I try to install Inventor 2015 32 bit on the virtual machine I get the following message:

“You are attempting to install on an Operating System that is not supported.

Install on Windows 7 (32 bit or 64 bit) or Windows 8 (64 bit) for full support of all functionality.”

So is it possible for me to install Inventor on the virtual machine in any way?

Wellcome to the community:)

Minimum requirement to install Inventor is list here, which clearly says you require 64bit operating system.

Thank you for welcoming me 🙂

Yes, it says so for the 2016 version but I am trying to install the 2015 version. There it says:

Minimum:
32-bit Microsoft Windows 7 (SP1)

I thought it also ment minimum Windows 7 but I think it means that it only works on Windows 7.

Is your Windows 7 updated to SP1?
