After installing Inventor 2024, the program won’t launch with the following error ‘Failed to initialize a component for accessing AutoCAD files. Please try again. Error 82.’

Help me!

Thank you that was very usefull,

Common Autodesk fix your installation software.

I installed process monitor to find what file is missing - see screenshots.

and indeed My Inventor 2025 gave me those error after installation:

Failed to initialize a component for aqccessing AutoCAD files.
Please try again.
Error 16

What was needed was to manually create file:

c:\Users\kleme\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Inventor 2025\RealDWGSettings.xml

And add this content to it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" standalone="no" ?>
<RealDWGSettings InstallDirectory="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\RealDWG Shared 2025"></RealDWGSettings>

It worked for me too!  I was installing Inventor 2025 and had to adjust the code to read 2025.  way better than a clean uninstall that Autodesk suggested.  THanks!

Thanks for the fix. I had this issue after installing Inventor 2026. Two years later, and interesting that this issue hasn't been corrected in the installer.
