This issue extends (just a little bit) to SolidWorks as well (and rather annoyingly). In order for SolidWorks to open Inventor files, it requires Inventor to be installed (or possibly just the reader), but in any case, if you have the issue with Inventor, you cannot open up ipt files in SolidWorks either. This is rather annoying if FIRST releases game elements in Inventor files (like they have in the past). Fortunately, many files also have STEP versions available.

Generally I just wait for the STEP files to come out. I know the conversions are not perfect but I have no problem going in and fixing the important parts if need be. I haven't been using any FIRST published files lately, mostly been designing dream robots for Ultimate Ascent http://www.3dcontentcentral.com/ also has a ton of solidworks files for FIRST

Re: Inventor 14 VBA Failed to Initialize

I was able to install Inventor 2014 in a VMWare Workstation 9 virtual machine with Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit and .NET Framework 4.5 full administrative download.

It starts fine like this.
Will try installing Office 2013 over it later.

It put Vba7.msi in:
C:\Autodesk\Autodesk_Inventor_2014_Eng_32bit_dlm\3 rdParty\x86\VBA

By any chance are any of the affected people using the 64bit version of Microsoft Office?

Maybe what you need is a less powerful computer.

You know with old games sometimes you need to turn off the 'Turbo' button.

Anyway...
After moving my virtual Windows 7 PC to Apple and resizing it with Fusion then taking it back to my HP laptop....

I installed Office 365 and BOOM!
There's the same error the same number of times.
So I closed Microsoft Office 365's version of Word.
Closed Autodesk Inventor 2014.
Ran Vba7.msi from my link above.
Opened Inventor 2014 and no more BOOM!
Closed Inventor 2014 and restarted Office 365. No problem.
Opened VBA in Office 365's version of Word. No problem.
Restarted Autodesk Inventor 2014. No problem.
Opened Auotdesk Inventor 2014 and Office 365's version of Word at the same time. No problem.

So the fix works for me at least.
Back to the question of whether the affected users are using Office 64bit?

Re: Inventor 14 VBA Failed to Initialize

Thank you to everyone on this thread. It's the day before our first regional and I need to tweak the CAD and this problem just happened to me for the first time. You all literally saved me. Thank you for being more helpful than the Autodesk website!!

Re: Inventor 14 VBA Failed to Initialize

That is odd. I use Inventor 2014 Pro 64 Bit and Office 2013 Pro 64 Bit on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit and I have had no problems (knock on wood).
