VBA failed to initialize...

[C-Hoppen]

Hello,

after installing Excel 2013 I can not open anything in Inventor.

"VBA failed to initialize... Please restart inventor"

I uninstalled Excel.

I re-installed Inventor.

I reinstalled vba6.msi.

Still running in this error!

System: Win 8 - Inventor 2014 - Excel 2013

Any Help?

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Did you install Inventor before installing Excel?

I'm not 100% certain, but I think you should install Excel first, then install Inventor.  (The 2014 system requirements (click here) indicate Excel as a pre-requisite, so I infer that it should be installed prior to Inventor).

Try that first.  If it still doesn't work, post back.

Hi,

I recieved the error message VBA failed to intialize and went into the VBA7 file and there was no VBA7.msi file for my version of Inventor only VBA7. I tried to uninstall and got message that product had to be installed. Can you explain what that means?
