inventor 2017 VB buton not work

[sinanzorlu]

Hello all, I have installed Inventor 2017pro and tried to run the VBA editor via its button located under Tools tab. however no matter what i tried the button do not respond. I have searched the forums there were problems with the older versions and on those posts it is suggested to uninstall VBA, reinstall VBA71.msi again, and install vba71_1033.msi. I have uninstalled the VBA, reinstall it doesn't work. uninstall inventor completely, clean the registry with ccleaner, reinstall it- doesn't work. I also unistalled VBA from my computer installed by another program- doesn't work.. With each unisntallation I run ccleaner to cleanup the registry. No matter what I did, I can not run the VBA editor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One other suggestion that you might want to try is the Inventor Reset Utility.

If you have 2017, it should be located under Start > All Programs > Autodesk > Inventor 2017 > Tools > Inventor Reset Utility

If you are running something earlier, you can also try the stand-alone located here:

Keep in mind this will remove all application settings and customizations.

Which version of Windows is the system running?

Please try this test to verify that the VB compiler is working:

• Create the folder C:\temp2
• Save the attached vbTest.txt to that folder
• Open a command prompt window
• Enter the commands:
  • cd "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319"
  • vbc \temp2\vbTest.txt
  • \temp2\vbTest

The vbc command should create a vbTest.exe, and the next command will run the exe. That should print out the line:

Hello World

In the command window.

Does that work?

You could also try to install this update and see whether the issue can be fixed.

Thanks for your support.

I have tried to reset the Inventor settings... doesn't work

I have tried to compile the text file, vba subsystem seems to work however VB Macro buton still do not work.

I have also tried to install the update yet it says there is already an update present. So this step did not work too...

Right now it seems the only option is to reinstall windows. and start from scratch.
