Inventor 2017 Addin Templates

I'm trying to get the Addin Templates, but it seems the devtools.msi isn't properly extracting/installing them?

 

I've tried running the command line

msiexec /i "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2017\SDK\developertools.msi" /qb TARGETDIR="C:\Users\Gus\Desktop\DT"

but it keeps saying some scripts cannot be run and exiting.

 

Is there a way around this aside from getting the templates from someone else and manually copying them over?

Accepted solution

Nvm... 

 

I had it typed wrong.

 

msiexec /a "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2017\SDK\developertools.msi" /qb TARGETDIR="C:\Users\Gus\Desktop\DT"

And I can build the solution... So that's always good!

I  run the "developertools.msi" in command window by using your solution,

but I can‘t find Autodesk Inventor Addin in the VS,

can you help me ?
