Re: Need help installing inventor

I got my version of inventor to run just fine, and I have vista ulitmate.
What I maybe did different is not install anything else besides inventor, try that and it might work!

Good luck, and i feel your pain also...

Re: Need help installing inventor

You used the student downloader didn't you? The problem that I had with vista while downloading was that it didn't download everything... Use the zipped installation files instead.

Re: Need help installing inventor

yeah, I'm having the same problem with windows vista, you can download a fix from autodesk but you need to have the program already installed to use it which makes no sense.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't have vista, but a team member does and his works fine (although he did use the students.autodesk.com site for the free download). Is it possible to install the downloader tool in Vista?

Re: Need help installing inventor

I have just installed Inventor 2008 on both my Vista Ultimate x64 and my Vista Ultimate x86 boxes without any real issues.

On the x64 box I had to run setup32.exe directly since there is no setup64.exe, and the first time my download got courrupted(wouldn't de-compress), but both machines installed and ran fine. I did use the download tool.

I would try re-downloading.
