[Inventor 2020]Unable to Reinstall- Button Grayed Out in Wizard

[Anonymous]

I recently attempted to delete and reinstall Inventor after numerous days of troubleshooting a display problem where to models and drawings would not be shown unless I used the "Clean Screen" function. And even then the graphics would not reflect my actions in the program. So, after deleting all the files under the Inventor 2020 folder in Program Files, I downloaded the launcher. However, upon clicking on Install in the setup wizard, I found that the button was grayed out, and would not allow me to reinstall the software. If need be, I should be able to recover the files I deleted from the Recycling Bin, but I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I'm an engineering student, so having this 3-D modeling software available is pretty important.

Welcome to the Autodesk User's Community..

If you looked it mostly likely states Inventor is installed and that's why you can't go any further.    Just use Microsoft Fixit and follow the uninstall steps.  Also uninstalling should be your last resort.  Perhaps in the future ask before doing that and there maybe another solution to the problem.

Thank you for the clarification! I’ll try restoring the files and use this
