Hey Jef,
Thanks for the reply, I thought it could be an issue with that so i checked it and in my addin file it says from version 21. I also checked the version of inventor on the workstations which is 21.1 so normally it should be ok. are there any 'major' differences between 2017 and 2018? In my first post I had a similar issue and got it fixed by adjusting the images. Could it be that Inventor changed their requirements for images? Normally we update to inventor 2018 next wednesday so I hope we get to install the curretn version succesfully without issues. I'll keep you updated.
for further info my .addin file
