Hi All

 

Been trying to install 2014 with no success, all the other apps in the suite run completely fine but Inventor pops up with an error message "the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142)click ok to close application" Download via virtual assistant as online install wasnt working either. Running on a Lenovo G50 and meets all requirements etc.  Really need some advice here its driving me CRAZY! Thanks all

I've had this problem with starting up Autocad 2016 and fixed it with renaming the following:

It's in -Niels- post too.

 

Adobe Acrobat

For Adobe Acrobat 9, rename the following DLL files:

C:\Windows\System32\acapture64.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\acapture32.dll
