Hmmm.., it is difficult to say what could be wrong without looking at what
is exactly going on during the uninstallation. It seems like you are not
really using the Inventor API in the application but just creating some code
templates that somebody who installs your application can use. Is that
right? If so, then the Inventor AddIn wizards for .NET are similar to what
you are doing, I can take a look at the installer for that and see if we are
doing anything special. But still, I don't see problems with installaling
files for the code templates and removing them during uninstall. You could
try to install and then immediately uninstall the application to see if the
problem exists. If running the application before uninstallation is causing
the problem, it could be possible that there is some reference leak due to
which the Inventor process is not shut down when your applicaiton is shut
down (you can check in the "Task Manager" to see if the Inventor.exe process
is running).
I'm just doing some guessing here, the above might not even be related to
the problem you are seeing. But, anyway, thought I'd just make some
suggestions.

Venkatesh,Thanx for your reply but the code didn't help me much as what i
have developed is not an addin.
I have developed some customized interfaces in vb.net
which calls some Inventor APIs...meaning i just have a reference made to the
inventor and the apprentice tlb in my application.
i have also created a setup of that application with the help of .net setup
projects.
It also successfully installs the application on the machine but
my problem starts when i uninstall the setup of my application.
It simple leaves me with inventor crashed.
I am unable to trace what the uninstallation process does that it crashes
inventor.
I have found some turn around to get back inventor in working condition
without repairing/re-installing but still i want a clean uninstallation.
can u help me out....
