I used the default windows vista unzipper and winzip with success.

Are you downloading the file over a wifi connection ?

No, I'm using a wired connection. I originally downloaded the 32 bit version, and it worked fine except it said that it could not be installed on the 64 bit operating system.

Alright, so lets talk about the problems we have AFTER downloading.
My mentor and I had the exact same problem; we're both running Vista 64-bit machines. We got the file okay, had Inventor up and running and then one day it just decided not to work.
My computer was having trouble shutting down and when I started it back up it did nothing for about 20 minutes.
I restarted it and when I did a window that I had never seen before popped up telling me that my computer could not start and that it was running through repairs to fix the problem.
After that everything worked fine until I opened Inventor and while loading I got a message that said "This program has stopped working, Windows is searching for a solution."
And that was the end of that.

So far I've repaired, reinstalled, uninstalled, and am now in the process of reinstalling from square one. Anyone have any idea what is going on?!?

[Raptorace22]

Yeah, that didn't work either

I hope in future years, Autodesk provides a blueray or multi-dvd set for the 64-bit Vista install.

It seems many of the problems are due to either downloading or unzipping.

Ive downloaded Inventor twice, now the reasons are different . the first time like others it was time consuming but i got it done. at the end of the download when the Instalation test the configuration it shows 1 warning messing that deals with the operating system. now i tried to fix it but gave up. Inventor work and i registered.

this is the problem, Four or so days after i get this message saying windows cant open Inventor and a whole bunch of stuff saying that windows cant find the file or whatever. I Found a site that said uninstall it and reinstall but make sure all your security is off and the UCA is off. i did this again ( total of 2 days in hour downloading Inventor) but it wouldn't open again not even once.


Sorry this is so long but heres a summery

I downloaded Inventor 64bit . 1 of 11 tests says (during Installation) "Warning: System test check data management"

It worked for 4-7 days then a message saying windows cant open it popped up many times



I uninstalled it


I reinstalled it

It didn't open up at all

i went 250g to 170 than to 197 then ( installed) to 137 then (uninstall) 209


I didn't seem to get all of my memory back(hard drive) after uninstalling the first time ,but the second time gave me back the 60-70gigs it used

I'm sad : (

That sounds rough, I'm sorry the Inventor 64 bit Vista has given you so much trouble.

I would email the Autodesk support group for firstbase , supportfirst@mail.autodesk.com

Hopefully they can offer some advice on your problem.

[sundancekid92]

THX I definitely will. I hope it gets fixed, there's not much time left to build our robots.

I hope they put more thought into next year for us 64bit users.
