Inventor 11 and vista
As many of you know, Windows Vista does not like to play nice with many important applications. Tonight i went to install Autodesk Inventor 11 which i need desperately. And of course, in true windows fashion, it was not compatible. After about 7 failed attempts i finally stumbled upon a thread on the Autodesk forums that helped. I don't know how many people here use Vista, but if you do in the future and need to install inventor try this:
1) Skip using Media Browser. Go directly to the Inventor Setup.exe and set compatibility to XP SP2.
2) Install as Administrator
3) Set Inventor.exe to run in XP SP2 compatibility mode
4) Right click, run as Administrator.
Hopefully Autodesk makes their software compatible, but I just wanted to post this to save people the aggravation.
