Developer Tools Missing

Anonymous
Not applicable

I recently tried to access some of the examples for Inventor Apprentice and I found that the SDK folder on my local machine was empty except for an htmtl file.

 

I've searched the network where the Inventor files are stored and I can't find anything there either.

I've been running apprentice through a few Excel macros so I know it's there, but I would like to run programs like "Event Watcher" and the like.

Is there a place where I can download the .msi that are supposed to be in the SDK folder?

what's in the html file in that location? I recall finding some sort of note in a previous version where the tools were usually located...the note (can't remember the file type now) had information within it stating where the tools could be found.

it just gives you the location of the SDK and a description of the Developer tools & user Tools

I was able to find it. i was looking in the wrong drive. It was stored in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2015\SDK and I was looking in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2015\SDK.

 

I will now cover my face in shame.

 

Thanks for the responses.
